In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary as known  a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

Answer:

Tectonic plates.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the divergent boundaries, two plates move away from each other and the space produced by this spacing is filled by a new magmatic crust material. Thus, the divergent limit is constructive, since it allows the expansion of the ocean floor and the consequent formation of a new lithosphere.

According to this concept, we can say that the geographical features that are associated with a divergent boundary are the tectonic plates.
