Question

Which type of basin forms at divergent boundaries? rift strike-slip wedge arc

Answer 1

Rift valleys are formed by divergent boundaries.

Answer 2

Rift valleys are forms at divergent boundaries. A divergent boundary develops when two tectonic plates move. They move in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

• The features are associated with divergent boundaries. They are located between tectonic plates. Such as rift valleys, ocean ridges, and fissure volcanoes.
• Divergent plate boundaries refer to those boundaries where two adjacent tectonic plates move away from each other.
• Most of the divergent plate boundaries are underwater. They form submarine mountain ranges. It is known as oceanic spreading ridges.
• For example, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is one of the kinds of divergent plate boundaries.
