Question

which of the following crustal features would be the result of two continental tectonic plates moving away from each other? rift valley mid - ocean ridge mountain range volcanoes on land

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Rift valleys form when two continental tectonic plates diverge (move away), as the crust stretches, thins, and drops downward.
  • Mid-ocean ridges form at divergent boundaries between oceanic plates, not continental plates.
  • Mountain ranges typically form at convergent continental plate boundaries (plates colliding).
  • Volcanoes on land often form at convergent or oceanic-continental boundaries, not continental divergent boundaries.

Answer:

Rift valley
