Answer:
Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

A divergent plate 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 Earth's surface,solidifying to form a new oceanic crust.
Examples:Mid-Atlantic Ridge,Baikal Rift Zone,East Pacific Rise,etc.
