28 Απρ 2020 · This science lesson plan aims to teach 10th grade students about seafloor spreading through various classroom activities. Students will learn how seafloor spreading happens, how drill samples provided evidence of spreading, and the lines of evidence that support plate tectonics theory.
Seafloor spreading, theory that oceanic crust forms along submarine mountain zones and spreads out laterally away from them. This idea played a pivotal role in the development of the theory of plate tectonics, which revolutionized geologic thought during the last quarter of the 20th century..
21 Νοε 2023 · Learn what seafloor spreading is, who discovered it, and how it explains the movement of continents and plates. Learn about the evidence for seafloor spreading and analyze diagrams that...
The process of seafloor spreading created the seafloor of the oceans. For example, in the Atlantic Ocean, North America and South America moved away from Europe and Africa and the resulting crack was filled by mantle material, which cooled and formed new lithosphere. The process continues today.
Students create models which show the formation of new oceanic crust through seafloor spreading and its destruction in subduction zones. They incorporate the concept of magnetic polarity reversal evident in the seafloor, one of many important pieces of evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics.
Rift valleys provide insight into the processes of seafloor spreading, the characteristics of plate boundaries, and the mechanisms driving plate motion, as they exemplify how tectonic activity shapes the Earth's surface.
