Question

case 1: africa
what geological event is most likely to occur at this plate boundary in the future?
a mountain range will form along the boundary.
subducting plates will cause volcanoes to erupt along the boundary.
lakes and valleys will deepen and widen, eventually causing a part of the continent to break away.
slippage of plates will result in large - scale earthquakes in the region.

Explanation:

The East African Rift is a divergent plate boundary. At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart. This movement causes the crust to stretch, leading to the deepening and widening of lakes and valleys (like the East African Rift Valley system) and can eventually result in a part of the continent breaking away as the rift continues to develop. Mountain ranges form at convergent boundaries, volcanoes at subduction (convergent) or rift (divergent but with some volcanic activity, but the main feature here is rifting and continental splitting) and large - scale earthquakes are more associated with transform or convergent boundaries in terms of the main feature of rifting. So the geological event most likely is lakes and valleys deepening and widening, eventually breaking a part of the continent.

Answer:

Lakes and valleys will deepen and widen, eventually causing a part of the continent to break away.
