PLATE TECTONICS
... Divergent boundaries are located mainly along oceanic ridges (also called constructive margins, because they tend to construct, or make more, land). These can happen in the ocean or on a continent. Good examples are the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the African Rift Valley. ...

Stress increases along a fault until the rock slips or breaks, causing an earthquake. In seconds, the earthquake releases an enormous amount of stored en ...
