Continental Rifting

A tectonic process whereby the continental lithosphere stretches and breaks apart, leading to the formation of new ocean basins.

Passive Margin

The transition between oceanic and continental crust that is not an active plate boundary, typically characterized by a broad continental shelf and little seismic activity.

Island Arc
