|
| 5. | It also claims a continental shelf, or to the edge of the continental margin.
|
| 6. | The magma originated in the upper mantle under tension conditions on the continental margin.
|
| 7. | The belts are characterized by sedimentary basins and passive continental margins containing granite intrusions.
|
| 8. | It was later accreted to the continental margin of Laurasia.
|
| 9. | Slabs are in blue, and continental margins and a few plate boundaries are in red.
