Answer: Both mid-ocean ridges and continental rifts form where two plates are moving apart from each other. However, mid ocean ridges occur in the ocean, while continental rifts occur on land.
Explanation:
This is word for word on the answer so i would change it up a little
Continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges are both features of a divergent plate margin.
In both cases plates are moving away from one another. Therefore they are creating new land masses.
A continental drift like the east African rift valley is where a continent begins to pull apart or diverges.
A mid-ocean ridge is divergent margin in the ocean.
They are different in that, continental rift occurs within the continental plate that are on land.
But:
Mid-ocean ridges are in the oceanic crust in the ocean . They form the largest physiographic structure on the earth surface called the mid-ocean ridge.
