The _______is(are)a logical evolutionary analog of the African Rift Valleys ten million years from now.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The African Rift Valleys are a result of a divergent boundary where the African Plate is slowly splitting apart. Over millions of years, this could result in the formation of a new ocean, like the Red Sea today. Therefore, the Red Sea is the best evolutionary analog for the African Rift Valleys in the future. The Ural Mountains are formed by a collision of tectonic plates, the San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary, and the Peru-Chile Trench is a subduction zone, none of which are seen as logical evolutionary analogs for the African Rift Valleys.
