Question
- 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
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.
