Answer:
divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust.

Answer:
Divergent boundaries occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle.
Picture two giant conveyor belts, facing each other but slowly moving in opposite directions as they transport newly formed oceanic crust away from the ridge crest.
