Divergent Plate Boundaries Model
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4404
The Divergent Plate Boundaries Model (SKU JA-ERAM-4404) is a plate tectonics model of a divergent, or constructive, plate boundary: a zone where lithospheric plates move apart from one another. As the plates drift apart, rising material forms new crust, which is why divergent boundaries are linked with mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys. JaincoLab makes this plate boundary model for school geography and college geology teaching, together with convergent and transform boundary models.
Specifications
The model represents a divergent plate boundary, as described below; size, material, base and colouring are not stated in the listing and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the divergent plate boundaries model
The model is used to teach how new lithosphere forms where plates separate, linking divergent boundaries to sea-floor spreading, mid-ocean ridges and continental rift valleys.
- Plate tectonics lessons in school geography
- Sea-floor spreading topics in earth science
- Rift valleys and ridges in college geology
- Comparing the three types of plate boundary

Frequently asked questions
What is a divergent plate boundary?
A zone where lithospheric plates drift away from one another; it is also called a constructive plate boundary.
Which landforms are linked with divergent boundaries?
Mid-ocean ridges on the ocean floor and rift valleys on the continents.
Are the other boundary types available?
Yes. Convergent and transform plate boundary models are listed under related products.
