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
