Characteristics of divergent are that it has tensional stresses (stretching), lengthening and thinning of the lithosphere, shallow earthquakes, Divergent can locate in the formation of basalt or also known as the mid-Atlantic ridge. And the Characteristics of convergent it is has some deformation of the lithosphere. Shallow, intermediate, and deep earthquakes, convergent can be found in Coastal mountain ranges.
