Pull-apart rift zones are generally associated with a divergent plate boundary.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In geology, rifts are those linear zones where lithosphere is getting pulled apart. Divergent plate boundary, also named as extensional boundary or constructive boundary is a linear characteristic that exist in between both the tectonic plates that tends to move away from each other.

Major rifts can be found alongside the central axis of mid-ocean ridges, where lithosphere and new oceanic crust is created between two tectonic plates in the path of a divergent boundary.

When the two plates pull apart, general faults or breakdowns are developed on both the sides of the rifts and the central blocks start to slide downwards thereby initiating the earthquakes.

Answer:

Table B shows a proportional relationship

Explanation:

In a proportional relationship two quantities vary directly with each other.

So,

y ∝ x

y = kx

Where, k is the constant of variation.

The ordered pairs of table A are (-2,2), (-1,3), (0,0) and (1,5).

From these ordered pairs we can conclude that the value of y-coordinate is not changing according to the x-coordinate because the values of x increased by 1 for each ordered pair but the value of y is not increasing in the same proportion..

The ordered pairs of table B are (-1,-3), (0,0), (1,3) and (2,6). The value of y increasing at a constant rate 3 and the value of y-coordinate is 3 times of x-coordinate.

Choose any two ordered pairs of table B. Let the two points are (0,0) and (1,3).

The proportional relationship is defined as

y = 3x

Therefore, 3 is the constant of variation and rate of change.

So, Table B shows a proportional relationship.
