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.

Which of the following statements about the rivers of the United States and Canada is false?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

A. The Grand Canyon was formed by the continuous flow of the Columbia River.

Explanation:

The Columbia River and the Grand Canyon do not have any touching point, let alone that the Grand Canyon has been formed by the flow of this river. Columbia River is a big river, and it flows through the northwestern part of the country. It is very important for the people that live in this part of the Untied States because the river flows into the Pacific Ocean, and it is big enough so that boats can move through it and go further in the mainland, so economically it is a very important feature in the region.
