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.
