What happens when a continental plate splits apart

History
1 answer:
inna [77]4 years ago
3 0
The two parts of the continent start to move away from each other 
causing rifting of the continental plate, the center or the rift becomes thinner, weaker and starts to sag. The basin area in the middle which has sagged is usually filled up with water, forming a sea. (e.g. the red sea) 
The thinner plate in the center then becomes oceanic crust from this, and in the center a new constructive plate boundary is formed. <span>The plates continue to move apart from one another and magma erupts from the constructive/divergent plate boundary, producing new oceanic crust formed mainly of basalt.</span>

guapka [62]

The correct answer is C. The Arab Spring protests reflected global cultural diffusion because they relied heavily on global communication technology to succeed.

The role that the Internet played in these revolutions and social networks is being widely discussed among those who defend it as a great cause of the revolts and who cite it simply as a change in the media and never as a profound cause. In any case, the rapid communication through the Network has served to have their own characteristics, such as spontaneity and the clear absence of leadership. In the Egyptian case, in addition, Internet was revealed so important that it was banned by the government along with mobile phones and, a few days later, to the Al Jazeera television network, which was broadcasting 24 hours on the Internet. However, the Egyptians have been able to communicate through ruses and old technologies such as fax.
