Question

what type of tectonic plate boundary is located at the great rift valley? a divergent plate boundary image b convergent plate boundary image c transform plate boundary image

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Great Rift Valley is formed by the separation of tectonic plates. Divergent plate boundaries occur where plates move apart, allowing magma to rise (as shown in option A's diagram with the spreading and magma). Convergent boundaries involve plates colliding (option B, like subduction or mountain - building), and transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other (option C, like strike - slip faults). The Great Rift Valley's formation is due to plates diverging.

Answer:

A. divergent plate boundary
