Question

The Red Sea is a body of water formed where the African and Arabian plates are separating from one another. This sea is an example of a landform created by __________ movement.
a. lateral plate
b. convergent plate
c. divergent plate
d. transform boundary

Answer 1

C is the correct answer! just took the test

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. divergent plate. That's because the plates diverged, that is, they separated. When they moved away from each other, the sea filled the hole. The opposite would be convergent if two plates moved towards each other and squished out a sea. Transform would be if it changed from one form to another.
