Answer:

divergent plate

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The red sea represents a rift zone where the two tectonic plates spread from the centers. That is the African and the Arabian plate. It forms an extension of the dead sea transform fault system.
  • Magnetic anomalies suggest that this plate spreads at a rate of 1 cm/year. And is followed by a major seafloor spreading and the rift zone includes a basaltic strata volcano located at the northwest passage of the red sea.
