Rift valleys develop when a continent is broken apart by a divergent boundary. Now, as plates pull apart, several things may occur. First of all, volcanic activity is common in these areas since mantle easily moves to the surface through the thin, fractured rock as it separates.

When a divergent boundary occurs below a oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a ridge.

This type of convergent boundary happens where an oceanic plate and a continental plate push together causing the oceanic plate to be forced under the continental plate into the mantle because the oceanic plate is thinner.

This type of boundary happens where two continental plates collide and push up creating mountain ranges. Like colliding icebergs resist downward motion, the same thing happens with colliding continental plates, instead of moving down they move up

# data[].attributes.body
This type of convergent boundary happens where two oceanic plates push against one another, causing the colder, denser, older plates to buckle up and sink into the mantle.

A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving away from each other and new crust is forming from magma that rises to the Earth's surface between the two plates.

Divergent Plate Boundaries (or How do you make an ocean?)

A transform fault or transform boundary is a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal. It ends abruptly and is connected to another transform, a spreading ridge, or a subduction zone.

Convergent boundaries are areas on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other causing a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Benioff Zone.
