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.

A rift valley is different from a mid ocean with respect to the tectonic plates.
- There realistically is a rift valley if the secure border is typically discovered between two continental plates. Apart from a widening valley, it equally contributes to steep mountain sides spreading.
- A mid-oceanic ridge is naturally produced if two oceanic plates naturally start moving away from each other. Continental and less dense plates thus float on the mantle much higher.
- An example of rift valley is the East African Rift, and of mid ocean ridge is the East Pacific Rise.
