Front

Look at the diagrams. Which answer choice correctly names the landform that could be created at each of the plate boundary types? Options: A = Ocean Trench, B = Fault Line, C = Mountain, D = Fault Line A = Rift Valley, B = Volcano, C = Mountain, D = Fault Line A = Mid Ocean Ridge, B = Volcanic Island Arc, C = Fold Mountains, D = Fault Line A = Fault Line, B = Mountain, C = Volcanic Island Arc, D = Fault Line
