Unlike continental cruct, oceanic cruct is geologically youngg. The oldect oceanic cruct is less than 200 million years old, a stark contract to continental cruct that can over 4 billion years old.

Landform Development: Processes Shaping thee Cruct

Te Earth 's surface is a constantly changing mosaic of mounders, valleys, prents, and basins. The development of these diverse landform is results from the interplay of internal andd external forces.

Tectonic Activity: The Enginee of Large- Scale Landforms

Plate tectonics provides the overarching framework for explaining the formation of Earth 's largett andd most dramatic landform. The lithosplue, which includes thee cruct andd upper mantle, is divided into rigid plates that move atop thee more ductille asthenosfere. The interactions ate plate boundaries generate stresses that deform the cruct and produce various geological collares.

Divergent Boundaries

At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move aye each texr. This separation allows mantle material to rise and partially melt, creating new oceanic crutt. The most extensive expecles is the mid- oceaun ridgge system, which forms the lonest mountain range, mostly underwater. On continents, divergent boundaries produce rift valleys such as the Eass Africain Rift, when there crust is being pulled apart.
