the rifts didn't developin exactly the same places where Pangaea was first sutured together. for example, the rift that formed the Atlantic Ocean was located to the east of the present Appalachian mountains.

What is craniofacial angle?
The angle formed by the basifacial and basicranial axes at the midpoint of the sphenoethmoidal suture.
How any tectonic plates intersect in Iran?
The Iran Plate or Iranian Plate is a triangular plate between the Eurasian Plate, the Indian plate and the Arabian Plate. It is often considered a part of the Eurasian Plate.The boundary with the Arabian Plate is a subduction zone, also known as the Zagros Thrust. Here the Arabian Plate is subducted beneath the Iranian Plate, giving rise to desastrous earthquakes The boundary with the Eurasian Plate is a suture zone (North Iran Suture) from the collision between the Iran plate and the Turan Plate (to the north) during Middle Triassic. So the suture is a result of the closure of the Paleotethys and the continent-continent collision with the southern active margin of Eurasia (Turan Plate). The Iran-Turan suture zone is extending from Kopet Dagh in the southeast passing through Binalud (north) to the Caspian Sea in the west. The suture zone is marked by ophiolites.
Which suture connects the parietal and temporal bones?
The occipital, parietal and temporal bones are connected by the squamosal suture. This suture was not present when a person is a newborn baby.
What suture is most likely to contain sutural bones?
The LAMBDOID suture is the most likely suture to contain suture bones
What zone formed where two oceanic plates collide?
zone of subduction
Which suture connects the occipital and parietal bones?
The suture that goes in between the two parietal bones (left and right) is called the saggital suture. That is the main suture that runs in the middle of the top of your head. The parietal bones articulate with the occipital bone at the lambdoidal suture and with the temporal bones (left and right where the ears are), at the squamosal suture. Finally the parietal bones both meet with the frontal bone at the coronal suture. But the main suture between the parietals again is the saggital suture.Lambdoidal suture connects the two parietal bones together.
What is formed at a collision zone?
A mountain range.
How was the Brevard Fault zone formed?
both
What is formed at collision zone?
A mountain range.
What is the medical term meaning suture of a kidney?
Splenorrhaphy is the medical term meaning surgical suture of the spleen.
Where is a subductions zone most likely to form?
At a convergent boundary.
What are the four major sutures of the skull?
Squamous suture (separates the temporal bone from the parietal bone), Coronal suture (separates the frontal bone from the parietal bone), Sagittal suture (separates the parietal bones) and the Lamboid suture (separates the occipital bone from the parietal bone)
