A divergent boundary is when the earths lithosphere plates are moving away from each other usually caused by magma from the earths crust pushing the plates away from each other. This is common in the oceanic ridge were the magma pushes its way through the plates creating a ridge.

a continental divergent boundary creates a rift valley as the two plates pull apart the land sags and you get a rift. I love the study of how the earth works and how new land is created or destroyed. I learned to value the earth and the study of it as I read books on the plate tectonic theory. If you have any questions ask. thanks Moorescience
