Pull-apart rift zones are generally associated with a ________ plate boundary.

Pull-apart rift zones are generally associated with a divergent plate boundary.

Explanation:

In geology, rifts are those linear zones where lithosphere is getting pulled apart. Divergent plate boundary, also named as extensional boundary or constructive boundary is a linear characteristic that exist in between both the tectonic plates that tends to move away from each other.

Major rifts can be found alongside the central axis of mid-ocean ridges, where lithosphere and new oceanic crust is created between two tectonic plates in the path of a divergent boundary.

When the two plates pull apart, general faults or breakdowns are developed on both the sides of the rifts and the central blocks start to slide downwards thereby initiating the earthquakes.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

Non point sources

Explanation:

A point source is usually a single known source of a pollution such as emission of toxic fluids from a company directly into water bodies.

Runoff of eroded soil and chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides from cropland, feedlots, logged forests, urban streets, parking lots, lawns, and golf courses are examples of non point sources as there is no main known source of the pollution.
