Final answer:

The continental landforms can be matched with their corresponding oceanic landforms: Valley - Mid-ocean ridge, Plains - Abyssal plain, Mountains - Seamount, Canyon - Rift zone, Volcano - Trench.

Step-by-step explanation:

The continental landforms can be matched with their corresponding oceanic landforms as follows:Valley 4. Mid-ocean ridge Plains 5. Abyssal plain Mountains: 3. Seamount Canyon: 1. Rift zone Volcano 2. Trench Rift zones, such as the Mid-Atlantic ridge, are characterized by valleys formed due to the pulling apart of plates. Trenches are associated with volcanoes and are formed at subduction zones where one oceanic plate is forced beneath another. Mountains are uplifted landforms and can be found in both continental and oceanic settings. Seamounts are underwater volcanic mountains that rise from the seafloor. Abyssal plains are flat areas on the ocean floor that are covered with sediments.
