"A divergent plate boundary is created when two or more plates move apart from each other. At the convergent boundary, tensions in the Earths lithosphere cause rocks to break, split, and move away from each other, creating a rift in the Earths surface. As the lithosphere continues to spread, magma from mantle below rises to form new crust. On land, this process can create new mountain ranges. At the oceanic divergent plate boundary, new seafloor is created, which causes the oceans depth to increase."
