Which best explains why earthquakes sometimes occur in the same locations as mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys?
Plates bump as they slip past each other at convergent boundaries.
Plates get stuck as they move past each other at convergent boundaries.
Crust gets cracked and forms faults as plates collide along divergent plate boundaries.
Faults form because crust gets cracked when plates move apart along divergent plate boundaries.
sy

The correct option is D: Faults form because crust gets cracked when plates move apart along divergent plate boundaries.

Explanation:

Options A and B are incorrect because even though tectonic plates are constantly moving and crashing against each other at convergent plate boundaries, it is not responsible for causing an earthquake. Option C is also incorrect in the context of the question statement merely colliding does not result in an earthquake.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Faults form because crust gets cracked when plates move apart along divergent plate boundaries.

Explanation:

Due to the movement of the plates in two different directions, the crust gets cracked and this leads to the formation of divergent boundaries that pulls the two sides apart, and as a result, the earthquakes are created and some of them may occur in the same location. Rift valleys are also formed by this process.
