Here's why:

* Divergent Boundaries: These are places where tectonic plates move apart from each other.

* Mid-Atlantic Ridge: This underwater mountain range is where the North American and Eurasian plates are pulling apart.

Key Features of Divergent Boundaries:

* New crust formation: As plates separate, magma rises from the mantle and cools, forming new oceanic crust.

* Volcanic activity: Volcanoes are common along divergent boundaries.

* Earthquakes: The movement of plates can cause earthquakes.

* Rift valleys: On land, divergent boundaries can lead to the formation of rift valleys.
