Question

which diagram shows the plate movement that forms rift valleys? choose 1 answer: a diagram of two plates moving apart b diagram of two plates moving in a way forming a step c diagram of two plates moving towards each other

Explanation:

Rift valleys form at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. Diagram A shows two plates moving in opposite, outward directions, which matches the divergent motion that creates rift valleys. Diagram B shows transform (side-sliding) movement, and Diagram C shows convergent (colliding) movement, which do not form rift valleys.

Answer:

A. <Diagram showing two plates moving away from each other with left and right outward arrows>
