LaoDiverging boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries where two plates move away from each other. This movement creates a gap between the plates through which magma rises from the mantle, leading to the formation of new crust. Diverging boundaries are commonly found along mid-ocean ridges.

What forms at diverging plate boundaries?
At diverging plate boundaries, new oceanic crust forms through seafloor spreading. Magma rises to the surface and solidifies, creating mid-ocean ridges. As the plates move apart, they create new oceanic crust, which can lead to the formation of rift valleys.
What diverging regions mean?
Diverging regions refer to areas that are moving away from each other, either physically or in terms of development and characteristics. This movement can lead to differences in culture, economy, politics, or any other aspect that sets these regions apart from each other.
