1) Tropic of Cancer- the parallel of latitude 23°26ʹ north tropic of Cancer or south tropic of Capricorn of the equator.
2) Divergent Plate- In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
Answer:
Tropic of Cancer: The parallel of latitude that is approximately 23¹/₂ degrees north of the equator and that is the northernmost latitude reached by the overhead sun.
Divergent plate:A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving away from each other and new crust is forming from magma that rises to the Earth's surface between the two plates. The middle of the Red Sea and the mid-ocean ridge (running the length of the Atlantic Ocean) are divergent plate boundaries.
