Question

which landscape is an example of a divergent boundary? aleutians himalayas san andreas fault mid - atlantic ridge cascade mountains

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Divergent boundaries occur where tectonic plates move apart. The Mid - Atlantic Ridge is formed by the separation of the North American and Eurasian plates (and South American and African plates), creating new oceanic crust. The Aleutians and Cascade Mountains are associated with convergent boundaries (subduction zones), the Himalayas are formed by a convergent boundary (collision of Indian and Eurasian plates), and the San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary (plates slide past each other).

Answer:

D. Mid - Atlantic Ridge
