Question

The divergent plate boundary is also known as _______.

• A. Destructive plate boundary
• B. Conservative plate boundary
• C. None of the above
• D. Constructive plate boundary

Answer 1

The correct option is D Constructive plate boundary

Solution:
Option, A contructive plate boundary.
So, in constructive or divergent plate interaction, the two plates move away from each other, hence the name divergent.​​
​

• Now as these lithospheric plates move away from each other, molten magma from underneath comes on the surface. The gap created by the away movement of the plates is filled by the rocks and surface formed by cooling of this magma.​​
• In the areas of constructive plate boundaries, mild earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common, a suitable example is mid- Atlantic ridges.​​
