What happens when a continental plate splits apart

History
1 answer:
inna [77]3 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>

Who is sir mordred and why does he meet king arthur's ships with an army
loris [4]
<span>Sir Modred or Mordred is usually said to be Arthur's  son by his half-sister Margause. He rebelled while Arthur was away fighting Lancelot in France and met him with an army when he returned. Arthur drove his lance through Modred, and Modred struck Arthur with his sword in the head. A hand comes out of the water to catch Arthur's sword. Then several ladies in a boat come to get Arthur. Some versions of the story say he went to Avalon and is still there but will return when Britain needs him most. A French chanson says Arthur and Huon of Bordeaux struggled for the rule of Avalon.</span>
