Which of the following is associated with plates moving away from each other?
a.
rifts
b.
subduction zones
c.
faults
d.
all of the above

The correct answer is Rifts

Rifts are formed as a result of the movement of tectonic plates apart from each other. Two plates move far away from each other. It is formed as a result of divergent plate boundary which is deepened by force of erosion. The tensional forces are so strong that it causes the plate to split apart; a center block drops in between them called as graben. This is how a valley is formed. Example: Great Rift Valley in East Africa.
