Divergent plate boundaries are locations where plates are moving away from one another. This occurs above rising convection currents. The rising current pushes up on the bottom of the lithosphere, lifting it and flowing laterally beneath it. This lateral flow causes the plate material above to be dragged along in the direction of flow. At the crest of the uplift, the overlying plate is stretched thin, breaks and pulls apart.

Hope it helps you...

Answer:

divergent boundary in the ocean

Divergent boundaries – where two plates are moving apart.

Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts, which produce rift valleys. The most active divergent plate boundaries are between oceanic plates and are often called mid-oceanic ridges.
