Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the type of plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
Option 1: divergent. This is the correct concept, as divergent boundaries involve plates pulling apart, commonly forming mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys as new crust is created from upwelling magma.
Option 2: convergent. Here, plates move toward each other, which can lead to one plate being subducted beneath another or to the collision that builds mountain ranges; this is the opposite of moving away.
Option 3: transform. At transform boundaries, plates slide horizontally past one another, which typically causes shear movement and earthquakes, but not a net separation or creation of space between the plates.
In summary, only divergent boundaries describe the scenario where two lithospheric plates separate and create space between them, whereas convergent involves coming together and subduction, and transform involves lateral sliding without significant vertical separation.
