Answer:

 on land but close to oceans

Explanation:

A boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate will be near a coastline., not "far from the coast" or "in the middle of oceans."

Often, mountains are also near that boundary, but mountains may also exist elsewhere, so "anywhere there are mountains" is not an apt description.

The best choice is "on land but close to oceans."

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake near Japan was offshore by 67 km. It came from the subduction zone where the Pacific plate dives beneath the Eurasian plate. It is an example of a plate boundary quake that occurred offshore, rather than on land.

zloy xaker [14]

Hello. You forgot to put the image of the river. This image is attached below:

Answer:

D) the current flowed from right to left

Explanation:

As you can see in the image below, the clates are positioned diagnostically, from right to left, which can help us conclude that this is how the current flows, influencing the positioning of the clasts.

Clasts are rocky detritus formed by fragments of minerals accumulated over time. They can accumulate in certain places due to the action of wind, water, rain and even human beings.
