Learning  Describe the different types of plate boundaries.
Competencies  Explain the different processes that occur along
the plate boundaries. Quarter 1
Knowledge : Trace the templates of South America
Learning and Africa. Week 4
Objectives Skills : Compare the actual width of South
America and Day
Africa to the previous width. 1
Attitudes : Demonstrate proper handling of tracing
materials
and proper use of scaling.
Duration
Topic: Type of Plate Boundaries: Divergence of Two
Continental Plates
Resources Template of South America and Africa, One long size bond paper,
Needed pencil ruler, any coloring materials, activity sheet, world map

PROCEDURE:
Element of
the Plan

Awareness How did a divergent boundary form the South Atlantic Ocean?

Using a world map create paper templates of South America and

Africa.
Procedure:
1. Place the two continental templates in the center of a large piece of
Activity paper, and fit them together along their Atlantic coastlines.
2. Carefully trace around the templates with a pencil. Remove the
templates and label the diagram 150 mya.
3. Use an average spreading rate of 4 cm/y and a map scale of 1 cm =
500 km to create six maps that show the development of the Atlantic
Ocean at 30-million-year intervals, beginning 150 mya.
Compare your last map with a world map. Is the actual width of the
Analysis South Atlantic Ocean the same on both maps? Why there might be
differences between the width in your model and the actual width of
the present South Atlantic Ocean?
Formation of rift valleys and oceanic ridges are indications that the
crust is spreading or splitting apart. In this case, the plates are forming
Abstraction
 divergent plate boundaries wherein they tend to move apart. Most
divergent boundaries are situated along underwater mountain ranges
called oceanic ridges. As the plates separate, new materials from the
mantle ooze up to fill the gap. These materials will slowly cool to
produce new ocean floor.
If this event continues for millions of years, where will be South
Application America and Africa located?

Assessment The assessment is based on the activity performed.
