Celeste Higgins · Answer 2

Answer;

Divergent boundaries form mid-ocean ridges.

Divergent boundaries form volcanoes.

Explanation; Divergent boundary takes lace where two lithosperic plates are moving apart or diverging, creating a gap between them. Divergent boundaries form mid-ocean ridge (volcanoes) and rift valley. Mid-Oceanic ridge is a continuous chain of volcanoes on the ocean floor where intrusion of magma builds new oceanic crust and Rift valley is a long, narrow depression that forms when continental crust separates at divergent boundaries.
