Question

this diagram is a model of earths features at a plate boundary. use the words below to label the features. oceanic crust rift valley continental crust mid - ocean ridge

Explanation:

1. The top labeled area (the sunken, water-filled valley between raised landmasses) is a rift valley, a feature formed by divergent tectonic activity pulling continental crust apart.
2. The left lower labeled thick, lighter-colored crust block is continental crust, the thick crust that forms landmasses.
3. The central raised underwater feature is a mid-ocean ridge, where magma rises to create new oceanic crust at a divergent boundary.
4. The right lower labeled thinner, darker crust block adjacent to the ridge is oceanic crust, the dense crust that forms ocean floors.

Answer:

• Top label (over the valley): rift valley
• Left lower label: continental crust
• Central lower label: mid-ocean ridge
• Right lower label: oceanic crust
