Question

What is one way that continental rifts are similar to mid-ocean ridges and what is one that they are different?

Answer 1

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.

This is word for word on the answer so i would change it up a little

Answer 2

Explanation:

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.
