Question

Where is it possible to see a divergent boundary without traveling to a mind ocean ridge

Answer 1

Divergent boundaries occur where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. Mid ocean ridges are, as the name suggests on the floor of the ocean. Some divergent boundaries can be found on land. One example is in Iceland where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge surfaces. This region represents the area where the North American Plate is moving away from the Eurasian plate. Another example can be found in Africa along the East African Rift Valley.
