Summative Assessment Evaluate W5
(Summative Assessment_Week 5)
Follow the procedure listed below. Use the model to show how seafloor spreads by taking
pictures according to the instructions given in each box. Answer the process questions after
accomplishing the model.
You can find the cut out materials for the model at the last page of this module (Appendix 1:
Sea-Floor Spreading).
Illustrations:
For the illustration part, take a picture of your model and paste it below. Please consider the note
below.
Note: For every one million year ago = 1 centimeter distance apart
(1 million year ago = 1 cm distance between two plates)
Distance between two plates after 1 Distance between two plates after 2
million years million years
Distance between two plates after 3 Distance between two plates after 4
million years million years
Process Questions:
1. Explain the process involved in the modelling activity. How does it happen?
2. From the different illustrations, do you think that the concept of seafloor
spreading is not enough to prove that tectonic plates are moving? Justify your
answer.
3. What do you think will happen to the tectonic plates after billions of years?
