Answer:
1 question answer
A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. ... Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary.
2 question answer
When two plates are moving away from each other, we call this a divergent plate boundary. Along these boundaries, magma rises from deep within the Earth and erupts to form new crust on the lithosphere. Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges.
3 question answer
The major difference between different types is what type of plate the divergent boundary is between. If the boundary is found between two continental plates you are left with a rift valley. ... If two oceanic plates begin moving away from each other it creates a mid-oceanic ridge

The answers of the given question are as follows -
- Along a divergent plate boundary, different types of geographical activities take place. Rift valleys are being produced by these divergent plate boundary regions. Short scale earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are also parts of the geographical activities of a divergent plate boundary.
- When, two plates moved away from each other then the magma of the internal part of our planet tries to make a way out to the external surface of the earth, in order to perform a volcanic eruption. After reaching the surface the magma turns into lava.
- When a divergent plate boundary is formed by two continental plates then a rift valley is formed. On the other hand, when a divergent plate boundary is formed by two ocean plates then a mid-ocean ridge is formed.
