I can: describe what happens during Sea Floor Spreading DO NOW: What is a Mid- ocean Ridge?
Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics Close examination of a globe often results in the observation that most of the continents seem to fit together.
Earth Science Objectives: Seismic Activity Map Assignment Identify, compare, and model earth’s layers. Identify and examine historical evidence of plate.
