Question
the mummy feels the ground rip apart beneath the desert sands. what kind of boundary is that?
In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries are where tectonic plates move apart, causing the ground to "rip apart" (like mid - ocean ridges or rift valleys). Convergent boundaries involve plates coming together (e.g., subduction or mountain - building), transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other, and "inactive" is not a standard plate boundary type for this context. Since the ground is ripping apart, it matches the definition of a divergent boundary.
