The type of plate boundary is divergent/constructive plate boundary.

Divergent plate boundary, also known as constructive plate boundary is where the plates move apart under the rising convection current of magma.

As plates move apart, cracks are formed and the upwelling magma from mantle would fill the cracks. Once the lava cools down, new plate material is created to create new seafloor. This is also called seafloor spreading.

Therefore, the answer is divergent/constructive plate boundary.

Hope it helps!

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Hello. You did not present the map to which this question refers, however, we can say that the earth is likely to move along the fault line.

Explanation:

Geological faults can create changes along the relief, producing mountains, escapes, depressions, among other changes. However, geological faults are not able to modify the movement of the earth and its elements, since the tectonic plates are able to move, causing the earth to move along the fault.
