New Crust Grows at Divergent (Spreading) Boundaries includes text and images describing divergent plate boundaries. Interesting lava formations, black smokers, and the differences between fast-spreading and slowly spreading ridges are detailed, as well as the topography of the mid-ocean ridges, an example of magnetic stripping, and a discussion of the Iceland hotspot.
