At transform boundaries lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. Many transform boundaries are found on the sea floor, where they connect segments of diverging mid-ocean ridges. California's San Andreas fault is a transform boundary.]]> 2018-03-29 15:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/304503/2kwlmhf4x7tq/wish/247292563 DIVERGENT BOUNDARY 304503 https://padlet.com/304503/2kwlmhf4x7tq/wish/247293637 divergent plate boundary in Science. divergent plate boundary.

(kən-vûr'jənt) A tectonicboundary where two plates are moving toward each other. If the two plates are of equal density, they usually push up against each other, forming a mountain chain. If they are of unequal density, one plate usually sinks beneath the other in a subduction zone.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of theAtlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain range in the world.
