Answer:
D)
Explanation:
Divergent plate boundaries occur when two tectonic plates are moving apart, such as the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. As the plate move apart energy, can be released as an earthquake. In the place of the lithosphere that is being dragged apart, magma can seep through as a volcanic eruption. In some cases the new volcanoes can for mountains along the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, dividing the tectonic plates. It can also cause a rift valley.
The Earth is massive enough that the pull of gravity maintains its roughly spherical shape. Most of its deviation from spherical stems from the centrifugal force caused by rotation around its north-south axis. This force deforms the sphere into an oblate ellipsoid
