Question
which type of basin forms at divergent boundaries?
rift
strike - slip
wedge
arc
Brief Explanations
At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart. Rift basins form due to the stretching and thinning of the crust as plates separate. Strike - slip basins form at transform boundaries (where plates slide past each other). Wedge basins are related to accretionary wedges at convergent boundaries (where plates collide). Arc basins are associated with volcanic arcs at convergent boundaries.
