Where is a rift valley most likely to occur? A. at a convergent boundary between two continental plates B. at a divergent boundary in a continental plate C. at a convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate D. at a divergent boundary in an oceanic plate
A rift valley is a large elongated depression with steep walls formed by the downward displacement of a block of the earth's surface between nearly parallel faults or fault systems.It is more commonly referred to as a cliff. Rifts can occur at all elevations, from the sea floor to plateaus and mountain ranges. Convergent boundaries mostly result in the creation of mountain ranges. Its in a divergent boundary. So either B or D. Most likely B, because must divergent boundaries are mostly continental.
