Question

in the pacific ocean, there is a large divergent plate boundary. what happens at this boundary? the plates are moving towards each other. the plates are moving away from each other.

Explanation:

A divergent plate boundary is defined by tectonic plates moving apart (away) from each other. At such boundaries, magma rises to create new crust (like mid - ocean ridges). The first option describes convergent boundaries (plates moving toward each other). So the correct description for a divergent boundary is plates moving away.

Answer:

The plates are moving away from each other.
