TITLE; Divergent Oceanic to Oceanic

=Locations:= Arctic Ocean to the southern tip of Africa. Europe, Africa to America. The majority of these divergent boundaries are located along the crests of the mid-oceanic ridges This is a picture of the mid-oceanic ridgesTip of Africa How the divergent boundries work How Divergent Boundries are located along the Mid-Oceanic Ridges- Shant'a Leeper

=Associated Geologic Features:= The mid atlantic ridge separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic. The ridge in about 2,500 meters below sea level. a divergent boundary exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge. Extensional forces stretch the lithosphere and produce a deep fissure. -Kolton Sleeth
