What is Understanding Divergent Plate Boundaries about?

1) Divergent plate boundaries are zones where tectonic plates move away from each other. 2) Seafloor spreading is the process where new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges as the plates separate. 3) Divergent boundaries are considered constructive margins because they generate new oceanic lithosphere through decompression melting and the formation of new crust.
