Explanation: DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARIES occurs when two TECTONIC LAYERS OR PLATES move away from each other creating a low level area. Divergent plate boundaries form RIFT VALLEYS AND MID-OCEANIC RIDGES.
RIFT VALLEYS are linear valleys lying between high lands,created as a result of Divergent Tectonic plates movements,it occurs mainly on mountains or highlands.
MID-OCEANIC RIDGES are formed by Tectonic plates movements occuring under the OCEANS.
