PMT - different plate boundaries constructive continental and continental Flashcards
1
Q
explain the process of a constructive continental plate boundary?
A
- Any land in the middle of the separation
is forced apart, causing a rift valley - Volcanoes form where the magma
rises - Eventually the gap will most likely fill
with water and separate completely
from the main island - The lifted areas of rocks are known as
horsts whereas the valley itself is
known as a graben
