Features that are typical for the divergent plate boundaries are:
- <em>ocean ridges;</em>
Underwater mountain chains that are very long and are marking the border of the plates.
- <em>formation of new crust;</em>
Since the crust is very weakened and loose, the high temperature, pressure, and magma, are able to penetrate it and create new crust.
- <em>intense volcanic activity;</em>
The high amount of magma penetrating from the mantle layer is causing intense volcanic activity, thus the creating on new crust, and underwater mountain chains.
The theory of continental drift by Alfred Wegener states that all land masses were originally united
in a single supercontinent known as Pangaea (250 million years ago). He shows
evidences like continental fit, similarity of rock sequences, glacial till and
striations, fossils (cynogathus-land reptile, lystrosaurus-land reptile,
mesosaraus-freshwater reptile, glossopteris-fern plant) to support his theory but
what was lacking is that it lacked a mechanism to explain HOW the continents
moved apart. But Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy submarine commander during
WWII <span>brought up a new
evidence to add in support of Wegener’s theory: the idea of seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals.</span>
