There are three types of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.

!!These are very simplified answers!!

Divergent boundaries occur when two tectonic plates move away from each other.

Convergent boundaries occur when two tectonic plates come together.

Transform plate boundaries occur when two tectonic plates slide past one another.<span />

<h3>What is earth rotation?</h3>

The rotation of the planet Earth around its own axis and variations in the orientation of the rotation axis in space are referred to as Earth's orbit or Earth's spin. Earth rotates prograde in an easterly direction. The Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the northern polar star Polaris. The Northern Hemisphere's North Pole, sometimes referred to as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is where the Earth's axis of rotation and surface meet. The North Magnetic Pole of the Earth is distinct from this place. The other location where the axis of rotation of Earth crosses the surface is the South Pole, which is located in Antarctica. The Earth revolves once every 24 hours or so in relation to the Sun, but only once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds in relation to other far-off stars.

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.
