Correct Answer:


Solution : The correct answer is Rift Valley.

The Earth's lithosphere is divided into multiple tectonic plates that move at different rates in relation to one another. Tectonic forces not only move plates, but they also have the capacity to rupture them, resulting in the formation of a rift and, potentially, the establishment of new plate boundaries. Rifting is a geological phenomenon that divides a single tectonic plate into two or more plates separated by diverging plate borders.
