A rift valley is forming.
Explanation: The arrows show the crust moving apart (a divergent boundary), which creates a rift valley as the crust splits and sinks between the separating plates. Converging and transform boundaries show opposite or sliding motions, and while volcanism can accompany divergence, the image specifically shows separation consistent with rifting.
