Difference between Gulf of Mexico and Rift

Gulf of Mexico vs. Rift

The Gulf of Mexico (Golfo de México) is an ocean basin and a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean, largely surrounded by the North American continent. In geology, a rift is a linear zone where the lithosphere is being pulled apart and is an example of extensional tectonics.

Similarities between Gulf of Mexico and Rift

Gulf of Mexico and Rift have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cretaceous, Evaporite, Mississippi embayment, North America, Oceanic crust, Permian, Plate tectonics, Rift valley, Triassic.

Cretaceous

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.
