Q. The landforms associated with divergent plate boundaries are:

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

• A. 1 and 4 only
• B. 1, 2 and 4 only
• C. 4 only
• D. 1, 2, 3 and 4

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 and 4 only

Explanation:

Two major landforms that are created from divergent boundaries are the rift valleys and mid-oceanic ridges. A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away or spread apart from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are often very common and the magma rises from the mantle to the surface, solidifying to create the new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is one of the famous examples of divergent plate boundaries.
