Question

  1. what type of plate boundary forms a rift valley?
  • divergent between two continental plates
  • convergent between two continental plates
  • transform between two continental plates
  • convergent between two oceanic plates

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Rift valleys form when two continental tectonic plates move away from each other (a divergent boundary), pulling the crust apart and creating a low-lying, elongated valley. Convergent boundaries create mountains or subduction zones, while transform boundaries cause fault lines like the San Andreas Fault.

Answer:

divergent between two continental plates
