Answer:
The forces which originate from within the earth's crust or inside the earth are called internal or endogenetic forces. The sources providing them energy are the internal heat, chemical reactions taking place within the earth, and the transfer of rock materials on the earth's surface by external forces.
Explanation:
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.
