2a. On the cross-section, mark the transition from continental crust to oceanic crust in green. Use what you know about plate thickness. The actual sea level does not necessarily tell you where the edge of the continental crust is. 2b. On the cross-section (Fig. 2), mark the plate boundary between the North American and African plates in blue.
