Use the earthquake distribution map to answer the question.

Scientists have found that shallow and narrow bands of earthquakes occur at divergent boundaries.

Where would a divergent boundary occur?

between the South American and African Plates

between the Australian and Eurasian Plates

between the Eurasian and African Plates

between the Nazca and South American Plates

between the South American and African Plates

Explanation:

The easterly edge is a divergent boundary with the African Plate; the southerly edge is a complex boundary with the Antarctic Plate, the Scotia Plate, and the Sandwich Plate; the westerly edge is a convergent boundary with the subducting Nazca Plate; and the northerly edge is a boundary with the Caribbean Plate and the oceanic crust of the North American Plate.
