Plate Tectonics Day 3 Sea Floor Spreading: Evidence for Continental Drift
Young scholars are introduced to Sea Floor Spreading and how it provides evidence for Hess's and Deitz's theory of Continental Drift. They use paleomagnetic data to calculate the rate of Sea Floor Spreading.

Video: The Birth of a Theory
In this plate tectonics worksheet, students answer questions from a video about how the theory of plate movement came about along with questions about earthquakes, faults, seafloor spreading and other geological events.

Plate Tectonics Review
In this plate tectonics learning exercise, students review concepts such as the types of plate boundaries, the concept of continental drift, sea-floor spreading, earthquakes, and plate tectonics. They match 30 terms with their definitions.

Plate Tectonics: Recycling the Seafloor
Students classify earth's layers and plates using Ocean Seismicity data. In this plate tectonics lesson, students outline where the plate boundaries are on the world map. They then compare these predicted boundaries with USGS map of the...
