Everybody always uses it to mean some kind of liquid that's hot and smoking,
like glowing smoking molten lava creeping down the sides of a volcano, or red
hot molten steel pouring out of the furnace in a steel mill in a shower of sparks.
But I think technically it just means melted ... water is molten ice.
In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts which eventually become rift valleys. Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.
