Where is a rift valley most likely to occur?
A. At a divergent boundary in an oceanic plate
B. At a convergent boundary between two continental plates
C. At a divergent boundary in a continental plate
D. At a convergent boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate
Answer (3)
A. at a divergent boundary in a continental plate
A. At a divergent boundary in an oceanic plate ;
