  • Divergent Plate Boundaries: Locations in the World's Oceans
    You can find divergent plate boundaries in all of the major oceans:

    * Atlantic Ocean: The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a classic example of a divergent boundary running down the center of the ocean.

    * Pacific Ocean: The East Pacific Rise is another prominent divergent boundary in this ocean.

    * Indian Ocean: The Central Indian Ridge is a divergent boundary in this ocean.

    * Arctic Ocean: The Gakkel Ridge is a divergent boundary in this ocean.

    These are just some of the major examples. Divergent boundaries are where new oceanic crust is formed, so they are found throughout the ocean basins.
