There are two types of divergent boundaries, categorized by where they occur: continental rift zones and mid-ocean ridges. Continental rift zones occur in weak spots in the continental plate. A mid-ocean ridge usually originates in a continental plate that expands to the point of splitting the plate apart, with seawater filling in the gap.
