A geologist is studying an area after an earthquake. She notices that two streams have changed course. What would most likely explain the movement of the streams?
A. The stream runs across a fault in a rift zone where two plates are diverging.
B. The stream runs across a hot spot far from any tectonic plates.
C. The stream runs across a transform fault that was offset by the earthquake.
D. The stream runs across a subduction zone where two plates are converging.
