Answer:

Divergent plate boundary

Explanation:

The African continent, the second largest in the world, is splitting in two parts. The African plate on which the African continent lies is actually after heavy geologic activity which causes it to split in two parts that are moving in opposite directions. This is a prime example of a divergent plate boundary. As the African plate gradually separates into the Nubian and Somali plates, they will open up a gap between them that will constantly grow. That gap will fill in with the ocean waters, splitting the two land masses with a natural barrier, as well as giving rise to a new sea, or maybe even an ocean over the course of millions of years.

Explain how new oceanic lithosphere forms at divergent boundaries.
klemol [59]
At the divergent plate boundaries new oceanic lithosphere is formed in the gaps of magma coming up from the mantle. The magma coming up forms mid-ocean ridges. They form along mountain chains that are marked as boundaries between diverging plates.

1. Describe the most important diagnostic properties in igneous rocks.
azamat

1- The terrestrial lithosphere is composed almost of 80% by igneous rocks, they are also known as magmatic rocks and are formed at high temperatures due to magma solidification, they come from the superior mantle and terrestrial coast. Its texture is super resistant with significant hardness to obtain minerals and other derived materials. They can be divided into extrusive and intrusive.

2- Through experiments, Bowen has defined a sequence of mineral formation when a magma begins to cool. There are two types of magmatic differentiation defined by Bowen, the continuous series and the discontinuous series. In the continuous series the internal structure of the magma is not altered and all minerals have iron and magnesium, they are formed: aluminum, silica and sodium and calcium.

In the discontinuous series decreasing the temperature reacts the previously formed mineral with the existing liquid, and thus a new mineral with different internal structure and composition is formed. They are formed: olivine, pyroxena, amphibole and biotite.
