divergent plate  boundary

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!

24) Most of the precipitation that falls onto Earth's surface ________. A) is already unusable because of acid rain B) evaporate
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:C) either runs off to form rivers or filters down into underground aquifers

Explanation:Precipitation is any form of moisture which falls to the earth. This includes rain, snow, hail and sleet. Precipitation occurs when water vapour cools. When the air reaches saturation point (also known as condensation point and dew point) the water vapour condenses and forms tiny droplets of water.

In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapour that falls under gravity from clouds. The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, ice pellets, graupel and hail. ... Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called "showers."
