    Divergent Plate Activities

    Uploaded by

    This document contains two activities about divergent and transform plate boundaries: 1. The divergent boundary activity asks students to analyze photos of rift valleys and oceanic ridges formed by plates moving apart. As the plates continue separating over millions of years, new crust is created at the ridge and the land masses become more distant. 2. The transform boundary activity instructs students to label a diagram showing two plates sliding past each other at a transform fault. It asks them to identify the type of boundary, motion, and geological events associated with this type of plate movement. Transform boundaries differ from other types in that the plates slide horizontally rather than moving apart or colliding.

    DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY


    Activity 1
    Going Separate Ways
    Objectives:
    •Explain the processes that occur along divergent boundaries.
    • Determine the results of plates that are moving apart.

    Materials: photographs of Rift Valleys and Oceanic Ridges


    Procedure:
    1. Analyze the photographs of rift valleys (topmost pictures) and oceanic ridges below, and
    answer the questions that follow.

    Q1. What are common in the four pictures? ___________________________________________


    Q2. Millions of years ago, the land masses in each picture were once connected. What do you
    think is happening to the Earth’s crust in those pictures?
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    Q3. If this event continues for millions of years, what do you think will be the effect on the crust?
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    TRANSFORM FAULT BOUNDARY


    Activity 2
    The Big ONE!

    Objectives:
    • Explain the processes that occur along transform fault boundaries.
    • Determine the results of plates that are sliding with each other.

    Materials: diagram of two plates, ball pen, crayons or any coloring pens

    Procedure:
    1. Label and describe the diagram below. Write the arrow between two plates to determine the
    movement of the plates. Complete the table. (10 points)

    Type of boundary, motion at


    boundary and geologic event.
