The 13 pages that link to Divergent boundary, each with the reason it gives.

• Subduction zoneCompared with: It creates oceanic lithosphere, whereas subduction removes it.

• Mid-Atlantic RidgeNarrower topic: The ridge is the longest and best-studied example of this boundary type.

• Arabian PlateNarrower topic: The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden are spreading margins of this type.

• Transform faultCompared with: Transforms conserve crust; spreading boundaries create it.

• Continental riftingRelated: A rift may become a divergent boundary as extension separates continental blocks.

• Rift valleyRelated: Rift valleys commonly develop above divergent boundaries or incipient ones.

• Convergent boundaryCompared with: It is the opposite motion: plates separate rather than converge.

• East Pacific RiseRelated: The rise follows a boundary where oceanic plates separate.

• Dead Sea TransformCompared with: The Red Sea Rift is divergent, unlike the transform’s predominantly sideways motion.

• Azores Triple JunctionRelated: The Mid-Atlantic Ridge segment at the junction is a spreading boundary.

• Juan de Fuca RidgeNarrower topic: The ridge is the surface expression of this kind of plate boundary.

• Ring of FireRelated: The other main kind of boundary; its peaceful volcanism highlights what makes subduction zones deadly.

• Pacific–Antarctic RidgeNarrower topic: The ridge is a long oceanic example of this type of plate boundary.
