Plate Tectonics

Question 9 • * FL-2001340-Environmental Science Sem 2

Which of the following is associated with plates moving away from each other?

Answer
A
rifts
B
subduction zones
C
faults
D
all of the above

Explanation

Plates moving away from each other form a divergent boundary, where the crust can stretch and split into a rift. Subduction zones form where plates move toward each other. Faults can occur at different kinds of plate boundaries, so “all of the above” is not the best answer.
