Divergent Boundaries: Where Plates Pull Apart

Divergent boundaries develop where two tectonic plates move away from each tell, allowing magma frem the mantle to rise, cool, and create new lithosferic crutt. These boundaries are domine annuantly found along mid- oceaun ridges but can also occur with in continental plates, forming rift valleys.
