plate tectonics: divergent bour
american plates are separating, causing distinc
geological features such as rift valleys. this ma
prime location for studying plate tectonics.

this process of new crust formation at diverge
boundaries is balanced by crust disappearance
on earth.

which of these geological features is commonly
associated with divergent boundaries?

rift valleys
mountains
sandstone

Explanation:

The text states that American plates separating (a divergent boundary process) causes distinct geological features like rift valleys. Mountains are typically associated with convergent boundaries (where plates collide), and sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock, not a feature of divergent boundaries. So rift valleys are commonly associated with divergent boundaries.

Answer:

rift valleys
