Divergent Plate Boundary - Oceanic: (see illustration above) When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge. Extensional forces stretch the lithosphere and produce a deep fissure.

This occurs where two plates collide with one another. Transform boundaries occur where plates are grinding past one another, like the San Andreas fault. Plate boundary zones are broad belts in which boundaries are not well defined and the effects of plate interaction are unclear.
