Introduction to continental rifting. Intro comment: Ocean basins, and the oceanic crust within, are bounded by continental rocks. Running seafloor spreading backwards also brings the continents back together, and so it is clear that continents come apart to make new oceanic basins.In this section we will study what happens when continents come apart.ut it turns out that the behavior is much more complex, and sometimes the rifting aborts, sometimes it is concentrated, sometimes it is more diffuse, and localized rifting can occur in what may initially seem unlikely positions-on top of convergent mountain belts for example.
