Solution
The correct option is D Rift Valley
Rift Valley, in terms of the
theory of plate tectonics, occur in divergence zones were two of
the various lithospheric plates that make up the Earth’s surface are
separating. Numerous submarine rift valleys have been discovered along the
crests of the large ridges that run throughout the Earth’s oceans. These ridges
are centers of seafloor spreading: areas where the magma from the mantle is welling
up, cooling to form the new oceanic crust, and is moving away from the crests in
either direction.
