At the type of plate boundary shown in the image above, two plates are separating and pulling apart. which type of plate boundary is shown in this image? a. transform b. collision c. convergent d. divergent select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

The given question is incomplete as it is missing the attachment. But correct answer can still be given according to the definition.

Option (D)

Explanation:

In a divergent plate boundary, two places move in the opposite direction. This takes place due to the convection current that generates in the mantle. Due to this motion, rifting takes place that eventually leads to the formation of the rift valley and ocean basin. The magma that comes out at the ocean floor forms basaltic rocks and forms a long ridge which is commonly known as the mid-oceanic ridge. The rocks that are formed here are the youngest rocks and those that are away from this ridge are the oldest rocks.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
