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>

How did trench warfare come to define the western front
kondor19780726 [428]

<u>Trench warfare came to define the western front as follows:</u>

Trench fighting achieved its height on the Western Front during the World War I, which took place from 1914–18, when troops of millions of men fought one another in a line of trenches stretching from the Belgian coast to Switzerland via northeastern France.

One possible explanation that First World War on the Western Front resulted a enormous trench war was that Western Europe was heavily populated. The trench lines had the effect of putting Western Europe into two fortresses whose military forces were sieging one another along a single border. In the North, geography fought toward consolidation.
