Question

unit review - earth systems
american plates are separating, causing distinct geological features such as rift valleys. this makes it a prime location for studying plate tectonics.
this process of new crust formation at divergent boundaries is balanced by crust disappearance elsewhere on earth.
which of these geological features is commonly associated with divergent boundaries?
mountains
sandstone
rift valleys

Explanation:

Divergent boundaries are where plates move apart. Rift valleys form as a result of this separation, while mountains are more often associated with convergent boundaries and sandstone is a sedimentary rock not directly linked to divergent - boundary formation.

Answer:

C. rift valleys
