Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A passive plate margin is a type of plate boundary where two plates move away from each other. As they move away, the space between them is progressively filled with new rock that's emerged from molten magma underneath the earth's crust. This results in the creation of new land or ocean plates. Therefore, a passive plate margin commonly evolves from a divergent one.
