New crust is continually being pushed away from divergent boundaries (where ... Deep trenches appear at these boundaries, caused by the oceanic plate bending downward into the Earth.

At ocean-ocean convergences, one plate usually dives beneath the other ... eventually build up into island arcs like Japan. At divergent boundaries in the oceans, magma from deep in the Earth's ...

submarine mountains usually form as two plates drift apart at a so-called divergent boundary and magma spews out. But far away from these plate boundaries, at the center of oceanic plates ...

At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other and form mid-ocean ridges or major rift zones, and at strike-slip boundaries plates slide past each other. But none of these plate ...

The area is vast - extending 10,000 miles from the Arctic Ocean to the southern tip of Africa. This area is known as a divergent plate boundary line, meaning it is a site where the current plates ...

These plates can be oceanic, meaning they're found mainly ... This is called a constructive or divergent plate boundary. These are usually found under oceans. As the plate moves apart, magma ...
