Solution

The correct answer is "Tensional Plate Boundaries". This is because tensional plate boundaries, also known as divergent boundaries, are areas where plates move apart from each other. This movement can cause a gap which allows magma to rise from the mantle, creating new crust. This is the process that is slowly moving America away from Europe.
