Forces in Earth's Crust

Question 5 • RMA FL-2001310-Earth/Space Science Semester 2

Which feature is most likely found at a divergent boundary?

Answer
A
fold
B
plateau
C
fault-block mountain
D
anticline or syncline

Explanation

At a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move apart, and the crust can stretch and break along normal faults. Blocks of crust may then rise or sink, forming fault-block mountains. Folds, anticlines, and synclines are more commonly associated with compression, when plates push together.
