Answer:

Taphrogenic process

Explanation:

Taphrogenic process is defined as the process by which the continents move apart, forming a rift, that eventually leads to the formation of an ocean basin. It is often associated with faulting and subsidence of rocks. It was first introduced by a German geologist named Henning Illies, who studied on the formation of rifts.

This process occurs in a divergent plate boundary, where the two plates move in the opposite direction, where the main driving force of this plate motion is the convection current that forms in the mantle.

Thus, the plate divergence can be considered as a taphrogenic process.

How do the characteristics of living things contribute to an organism's survival?
givi [52]
Any characteristic, whether a physical trait, a behaviour, a physiological adaptation etc can make an organism more or less likely to survive in a particular environment. 

A dark colour could help a rabbit survive if it lives in a dark forest, because predators can't see it so well, but it would be less likely to survive in the arctic, where the environment is all white and it would show up. 

In terms of the characteristics, think about: does it help the organism get food? Does it help protect the organism from predators? If it does, that organism is more likely to survive, and pass the characteristic on to it's offspring. If a bacterium has a characteristic of not being killed by antibiotics, this will help it to survive and breed.
