Answer to Question 1

See Figure 2.19a.

Answer to Question 2

High heat flow elevates the continent and a rift valley forms, with normal faults and a central valley
called a graben. Magma is intruded into fractures. As the plates diverge, basalt erupts in the rift,
creating new ocean crust. Ultimately, as the plates continue to diverge, a new ocean basin forms.
