Another name for a divergent plate boundary is a constructive plate boundary. This is because new crust is created and the plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of mid-ocean ridges and volcanic activity.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is another name for the divergent boundary in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a mountain range that formed by the seafloor spreading along this boundary.
Another name for a spreading boundary is a divergent boundary. This is where tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of new oceanic crust. Examples of divergent boundaries include the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise.
A transform plate boundary.
Spreading plate boundary is the other name for converging plate boundary.

Divergent boundaries is the other name for a spreading plate boundary.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is another name for the divergent boundary in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a mountain range that formed by the seafloor spreading along this boundary.
Another name for a constructive boundary is a divergent boundary. This type of boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of new crust. It is characterized by volcanic activity and the creation of rift valleys.
It is called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Convergent boundary.
The type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another is called a convergent boundary. This process is known as subduction, where one plate is forced beneath the other due to differences in density.
Divergent plate boundaries occur where two plates are moving away from each other, and "new ground" is being formed. The oceans all have divegent boundaries at the mid-oceanic ridges. Another one is in eastern Africa in what is known as the Great Rift Valley. This will someday split the African continent apart.
The name of the mountain chain in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It is a divergent tectonic plate boundary where the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate are moving away from the South American Plate and the African Plate.
each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]
Spreading plate boundary is the other name for converging plate boundary.
A divergent boundary.
