Answer:

If two plates move away from each other then a continental rift will form.

Explanation:

There are three basic types of plate boundaries, convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries. All of them have their own characteristics and the boundaries can be between oceanic and oceanic, oceanic and continental, and continental and continental plates, and each type creates different landforms.

If there are two plates moving each other over land, then a continental rift will form. Basically, the two plates slowly move away from each other, opening a gap that is constantly widening, so over time, it grows into a rift valley. Over the course of millions of years, the continental rift or rift valley will get filled by oceanic water and physically separate the two landmasses. A perfect example of this is the divergent plate boundary between the Nubian and Somali plates which have created the rift valley cutting through the eastern part of Africa.

What is a "drunken forest" and what does it have to do with the topography of Eastern Europe?
Ratling [72]

Mainly found in the tundra regions of Eastern and Central Europe, permafrost, a layer of perennially frozen subsoil, lies beneath the surface. Recently, permafrost, which is supposed to be continuously frozen, has been thawing in some places. The photo below is a picture of what is referred to as a "drunken forest." Because the trees roots are shallow, when the permafrost melts, the trees start to tip over. The melting of this permafrost throughout the Northern Hemisphere has been altering ecosystems and damaging roads and buildings across Russia and other countries of Eastern Europe.
