The divergent boundary means move apart. At this boundary, the plates are moving away from each other. This is also called a constructive boundary because the new ocean floor is formed. Ocean floor spreading occurs here. Earthquakes in a normal sense, cannot occur on these faults, but they still cause damage, and form volcanoes, below ground and above ground.
