Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Divergent plate boundaries are found deep in the middle of the oceans, where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other and new crust is formed. This process is known as seafloor spreading, which forms mid-ocean ridges. While divergent boundaries can also occur on land, they are not as common as those found along the ocean floor.
