In plate tectonics , a divergentboundary or divergent plate boundary also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary is a linear feature that exists between two List of tectonic plates tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rift geology rifts which produce rift valley s. Most active divergent plate boundaries are between Oceanic crust oceanic plate s and exist as mid oceanic ridge s. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.

Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions. It is often used in conjunction with convergent thinking , which follows a particular set of logical steps to arrive at one solution, which in some cases is a correct solution. Divergent thinking typically occurs in a spontaneous, free flowing manner, such that many ideas are generated in an unorganized fashion. Many possible solutions are explored in a short amount of time, and unexpected connections are drawn. After the process of divergent thinking has been completed, ideas and information are organized and structured using convergent thinking. ref name strategies cite web url http faculty.washington.edu ezent imdt.htm title Strategies of Divergent Thinking publisher University of Washington accessdate 2009 08 06 ref Psychologists have found that a high IQ alone does not guarantee creativity.

Merge to Divergent evolution date March 2011 unreferenced date March 2011 orphan date February 2009 Wikify date February 2009 A common phrase in evolutionary biology . Divergent species is the direct consequence of adaptive radiation . Divergent species occurs when a part of the species is separated from the population by a physical barrier flood waters, mountain range, deserts . Once separated, the species begins to adapt to their new environment natural selection . After many generations and continual evolution of the separated species, the population eventually becomes two separate species to such an extent where they are no longer able to interbreed with one another. An example of divergent species is the apple maggot fly. The apple maggot fly once infested the fruit of a native Australian hawthorn. In the 1860s some maggot flies began to infest apples. They multiplied rapidly because they were able to make use of an abundant food supply. Now there are two distinct species, one that reproduces when the apples are ripe, and another that continues to infest the native hawthorn. Furthermore, they have not only evolved different reproductive timing, but also now have distinctive physical characteristics. Category Evolutionary biology ... more details
In chemistry a divergent synthesis is a strategy with the aim to improve the efficiency of chemical synthesis . It is often an alternative to convergent synthesis or linear synthesis. In one strategy divergent synthesis aims to generate a library biology library of chemical compound s by first reacting a molecule with a set of reactants. The next generation of compounds is generated by further reactions with each compound in generation 1. This methodology quickly diverges to large numbers of new compounds A generates A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 in generation 1 A1 generates A11, A12, A13 in generation 2 and so on. An entire library of new chemical compounds for instance carbohydrate sugar s can be screened for desirable properties. In another strategy divergent synthesis starts from a molecule as a central core from which successive generations of building blocks are added. A good example is the divergent synthesis of dendrimer s for example where in each generation new monomer reacts to the growing surface of the sphere. Diversity oriented synthesis or DOS is a strategy for quick access to molecule libraries with an emphasis on skeletal diversity.

Merge from Divergent species date March 2011 No footnotes date April 2009 Divergent evolution is the accumulation of differences between groups which can lead to the formation of new species, usually a result of diffusion of the same species to different and isolated environments which blocks the gene flow among the distinct populations allowing differentiated fixation of characteristics through genetic drift and natural selection. Primarily diffusion is the basis of molecular division can be seen in some higher level characters of structure and function that are readily observable in organisms. For example, the vertebrate limb is one example of divergent evolution. The limb in many different species has a common origin, but has diverged somewhat in overall structure and function. Alternatively, divergent evolution can be applied to molecular biology characteristics. This could apply to a pathway in two or more organisms or cell types, for example. This can apply to genes and protein s, such as nucleotide sequences or protein sequences that derive from two or more homology biology homologous genes . Both orthologous genes resulting from a speciation event and paralogous genes resulting from gene duplication within a population can be said to display divergent evolution.

In mathematics , a divergent series is an infinite series that is not Convergent series convergent , meaning that the infinite sequence of the partial sum s of the series does not have a limit of a sequence limit . If a series converges, the individual terms of the series must approach zero. Thus any series in which the individual terms do not approach zero diverges. However, convergence is a stronger condition not all series whose terms approach zero converge. The simplest counterexample is the harmonic series mathematics harmonic series math 1 frac 1 2 frac 1 3 frac 1 4 frac 1 5 cdots sum n 1 infty frac 1 n . math The divergence of the harmonic series Harmonic series mathematics Divergence was proven by the medieval mathematician Nicole Oresme .

Unreferenced date August 2009 Convergent and divergent production are the two types of human response to a set problem that were identified by J.P. Guilford 1967 . Guilford observed that most individuals display a preference for either convergent or divergent thinking. Others observe that most people prefer a convergent closure. Citation needed date August 2009 As opposed to TRIZ or lateral thinking divergent thinking is not about tools for creativity or thinking, but a way of categorizing what can be observed. Divergent thinking According to J.P. Guilford , divergent or synthetic thinking is the ability to draw on ideas from across disciplines and fields of inquiry to reach a deeper understanding of the world and one s place in it. There is a movement in education that maintains divergent thinking might create more resourceful students. Rather than presenting a series of problems for rote memorization or resolution, divergent thinking presents open ended problems and encourages students to develop their own solutions to problems. Divergent production is the creativity creative generation of multiple answers to a set problem. For example, find uses for 1 meter lengths of black cotton . Convergent thinking Convergent thinking is oriented towards deriving the single best or correct answer to a clearly defined question. It emphasizes speed, accuracy, logic, and the like, and focuses on accumulating information, recognizing the familiar, reapplying set techniques, and preserving the already known.

Divergentboundary Transform fault See also Plate tectonics List of tectonic plates List of tectonic ...In plate tectonics , a convergent boundary , also known as a destructive plate boundary because of subduction , is an actively deforming region where two or more tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the Mantle geology mantle , earthquakes and volcano es are common near convergent boundaries. When two plates move towards one another, they form either a subduction zone or a continental collision . This depends on the nature of the plates involved. In a subduction zone, the subducting plate, which is normally a plate with oceanic crust, moves beneath the other plate, which can be made of either oceanic or continental crust.

Unreferenced date December 2009 The term boundary case is frequently used in software engineering to refer to the behavior of a system when one of its inputs is at or just beyond its maximum or minimum limits. It is frequently used when discussing software testing . For example, if an input field is meant to accept only integer values 0 100, entering the values 1, 0, 100, and 101 would represent the boundary cases. It is commonly thought that three cases should be used when boundary testing one on the boundary, and one on either side to it .

They have often been used to mark critical points on boundaries between country countries or local administrations but have also been used to mark out the limits of private land holdings especially in areas where fence s or wall s are impractical or unnecessary. Boundary markers are often made of Rock geology stone and are typically placed at a notable or especially visible point. Many are inscribed with relevant information such as the abbreviation of the boundary holder and often a date. Boundary markers may be used to mark property boundaries land ownership , or political boundaries. In developed countries use of markers for land ownership has in many places been replaced by maps and land ownership registration. Markers are still used extensively for marking international borders international boundary markers are placed and maintained by mutual agreement of the bordering countries.
