Question

what is divergent plate boundary

Answer 1

In plate tectonics divergent plate boundary is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

                            Divergent plate boundary

• “Divergent plate boundaries” are areas where plates are moving endlessly from each other.  

• This happens above rising convection flows. The “rising current pushes” up on the base of the lithosphere, lifting it and streaming horizontally underneath it.  

• This parallel stream causes the plate material above to be hauled along toward stream.
• At the peak of the rising, the overlying plate is extended slim, breaks and pulls separated.

For example: A submarine mountain range is Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
