Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by tectonic plates moving apart from each other. At these boundaries, magma rises from the mantle to create new crust. This process is often associated with mid - ocean ridges. For example, the Mid - Atlantic Ridge is a well - known divergent boundary where the North American Plate and Eurasian Plate are moving away from each other.
