Explanation:

1. When huge slabs of oceanic crust separate at mid - ocean ridges, the cracks formed are called rifts. Earthquakes are seismic events and tsunamis are large sea - waves usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
2. Continental crust is higher than oceanic crust because it is less dense. Less dense materials float higher.
3. Latitude lines on a map run horizontally, parallel to the equator.
4. The oceanic crust is indeed younger and more dense than the continental crust due to the process of seafloor spreading and the composition of the crustal materials.
