I changed this sentence in the lede:"In plate tectonics, a Divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other."to read 'two' instead of 'five' -- any particular, individual divergent boundary will involve two (possibly three) plates, but in general only two. If this sentence was meant to convey that there are, at the moment on Earth only five plate boundaries that are divergent, than it needs a separate sentence to say so (with citation of course).71.139.1.243 (talk)15:51, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

this affect of tectonic activity is highly dangerous and will kill us all— Precedingunsigned comment added by173.10.47.101 (talk)20:16, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It may be worthwhile to add a separate section in this article going deeper into the formation of new oceanic crust at Mid-Ocean Ridges and the resulting ophiolite sequences that provide substantial geologic records of plate movements.This article also needs a serious fortification of its sources. Much of the facts in here have no references for people to verify.Oceanfr (talk)06:46, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

we should be making it abundantly clear that convecton currents that move plates are a theory and also include the theory of ridge push and slab pull, or risk simplifying a theory into a factcapstar (talk)11:02, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
