According to the theory of plate tectonics, the lithosphere is separated into sections that are called tectonic plates. These plates move in different directions in response to the forces in Earth’s mantle beneath them. Which of the following correctly matches the plate movement with its description?

convergent boundary; plates move away from one another causing rift valleys and the formation of new crustal material

transform boundary; plates slide past one another in opposite directions causing the formation of faults and earthquakes

divergent boundary; as the plates come together gravity pushes the edge of one plate underneath the edge of a neighboring plate

subduction zone; as the plates come together increased pressure causes the plates to fault and fracture leading to the formation of mountains
