It is called a divergent plate boundary.
A continental boundary is a geographic boundary where two continental plates meet. These boundaries can be characterized by different types of interactions, such as convergent, divergent, or transform, leading to various geological activities like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formations.
A mid-ocean ridge forms at a divergent boundary when two oceanic plates move apart. This boundary is characterized by the upwelling of magma from the mantle, which solidifies to create new oceanic crust. This process results in the formation of a continuous underwater mountain range.

When two continents separate, it is known as continental drift or divergent boundary. This occurs when the tectonic plates underneath the continents move away from each other, creating new land formations in the process.
