How are rift valleys formed?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago
7 0
Rift valleys occur when continental plates are pulling apart from one another.

A new ocean begins when hot mantle material begins to move upward beneath a continent. Geoscientest are still not certain on why that happens. The lithosphere of the continent bulges upward and is stretched sideways. Eventually, it breaks along a long crack, called a rift. Magma rises up to feed volcanoes in the rift. As the rift widens, the ocean invades the rift. A new ocean basin has now been formed, and it gets wider as time goes on.

What fragment is missing from this sentence the kindest most generous person in the world?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The subject and predicate (verb) are missing, including a conjunction between "kindest" and "most."

Explanation:

When the subject, a verb, and a conjunction are added to the phrase "the kindest most generous person in the world," it will then become a sentence.  In its present form, it remains a phrase, that is, a group of words without meaning.  For example, we can correctly rephrase the above into a sentence as: "John remains the kindest and most generous person in the world."
