1. 1 - Divergent, 2 - Convergent, 3 - Transform
2. 1 - Convergent, 2 - Transform, 3 - Divergent
3. 1 - Transform, 2 - Divergent, 3 - Convergent
4. 1 - Divergent, 2 - Transform, 3 - Convergent

Correct answer: 1 - Divergent, 2 - Convergent, 3 - Transform

Solution

Rift valleys are formed at divergent boundaries due to tensional forces. Island arcs are associated with convergent boundaries and subduction, while strike-slip faults occur at transform boundaries where plates slide laterally.
