Question

The Red Sea formed as the African Plate moved apart from the Arabian Plate. Which type of boundary was involved in the formation of the Red Sea?

transform boundary

divergent boundary

stationary boundary

convergent boundary

Answer 1

The answer is divergent boundary.

Divergent boundaries happen when two plates move apart from each other. Transform boundaries occur when two plates slide past each other. Stationary boundaries are when two plates are too weak to take over each other. Convergent boundaries are when two plates collide.
