Answer:
Island chains and oceans
Explanation:
Divergent boundaries are typified in the oceanic lithosphere by the rifts of the oceanic ridge system, including the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise, and in the continental lithosphere by rift valleys such as the famous East African Great Rift Valley.

Divergent boundaries are occur in oceans and lower mantle.
Explanation:
- There are three types of plate tectonic boundaries are occurs.
- They are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
- A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.
- Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth’s mantle to the surface it is solidifying to create new oceanic crust.
- A divergent boundary also called as constructive boundary.
- Divergent boundaries are typified in the oceanic lithosphere by the rifts of the oceanic ridge system.
- They including the mid atlantic ridge and the east pacific rise and in the continental lithosphere by rift valleys.
- Example of divergent boundary was famous east african great rift valley.
