Answer:

The two diverging convention currents bring up the heat from deep below the mantle. They act like two cogs/pulleys that complement each other to bring up very hot asthenospheric materials. Where a divergent boundary occurs, there also occurs a rift such as the Great Rift Valley in East Africa.
