Mid Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys.
divergent
the two plates are moving away from each other, and new crust is formed.
The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates move apart), convergent boundaries (plates move toward each other), and transform boundaries (plates slide past each other horizontally). At divergent boundaries, new crust is formed as magma rises to the surface, while at convergent boundaries, crust is destroyed as one plate is subducted beneath another. Transform boundaries are characterized by earthquakes as the plates grind past each other.

There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.

Divergent Plate Boundaries
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
No, subduction is not common at divergent plate boundaries. Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by plates moving away from each other, which creates new oceanic crust. Subduction occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates collide and one descends beneath the other.
Hekla volcano is located along a divergent plate boundary in Iceland, where the North American and Eurasian plates are moving apart. This movement creates rift zones where volcanic activity is common, including Hekla.
