How are divergent boundaries between tectonic plates different from convergent boundaries?

• Plates move downward at divergent boundaries, and upward at convergent boundaries.
• Plates move north at divergent boundaries, and south at convergent boundaries.
• Plates move apart at divergent boundaries, and come together at convergent boundaries.

Where are you most likely to find a trench?

• At a convergent boundary between tectonic plates
• At a divergent boundary between tectonic plates
• At a transform boundary between tectonic plates
