The divergent plate boundaries are between the Pacific and Nazca plate, and between the Pacific and Antarctica plate.

Explanation:

On this map, we have the Pacific plate and its boundaries with the surrounding plates. The Pacific plate actually is involved in all three different types of plate boundaries. The boundaries between the Pacific plate and the North American and Australian plate are convergent, the boundary with Juan de Fuca is a transform boundary, while the ones with the Nazca and Antarctica plates are divergent.

The divergent plate boundaries are the boundaries where the plates move away from each other. If the plate boundary is in the ocean, as in this case, new ocean floor is formed, as well as the trademark feature of these plate boundaries, mid-ocean ridges.

The results of this type of boundaries on the long run are:

  • constantly increasing distance between the two plates
  • possible rise of new islands or even a larger land mass
  • contributing to the the rock cycle
