ACTIVITY 4:GOING SEPARATE WAYSOBJECTIVES:Explain the processes that occur along divergent boundariesDetermine the results of plates that are moving apartMATERIALSPhotographs of Rift Valleys and Oceanic RidgesPROCEDUREAnalyze the photographs of the rift valleys and oceanic ridges below and answer the !uestions that follow"RIFT VALLEYRIFT VALLEYRIFT VALLEYLAKE MALAWI EAST AFRICAN RIFT VALLEYMID-OCEANIC RIDGEMID-OCEANIC RIDGESGUIDE QUESTIONS #hat are common in the pictures$All pictures show a fissure or a crac% between two land masses"GUIDE QUESTION#hat do you thin% is happening in the Earth&s crust in those pictures$'he land masses are moving away from each other"GUIDE QUESTIONS (f the event continues for millions of years what do you thin% will be the effect on the crust$'he distance between the land masses will be far greater than what is shown in the picture"GUIDE QUESTION)omplete the drawing below to illustrate your answer in number *"+our illustration should show a wider crac% or fissure between two land massesFORMATION OF AN OCEAN BASINFORMATION OF AN OCEAN BASINFORMATION OF AN OCEAN BASINFORMATION OF AN OCEAN BASINFORMATION OF AN OCEAN BASINFORMATION OF AN OCEAN BASINFORMATION OF AN OCEAN BASINFORMATION OF AN OCEAN BASINKEY CONCEPTDivergent boundaries occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up the mantleKEY CONCEPTEffects that are found at a divergent boundary between oceanic plates include,-"a submarine mountain range such as the .id/Atlantic Ridge0" Volcanic activity in the form of fissure eruptions*" 1hallow earth!ua%e activity2" )reation of new sea floor3" #idening of ocean basinKEY CONCEPT(f a divergent boundary is between continental plates the effects are,-" Rift valley formation which will soon develop into linear sea0" 1hallow earth!ua%e activities*" 4umerous normal faults
