    The document discusses divergent boundaries and the processes that occur when tectonic plates move apart. It provides photographs of rift valleys and oceanic ridges as examples and asks students to analyze the pictures to answer questions. The questions have students recognize that ridges are common in the photos and that the land masses were once connected. Students are asked to explain that the crust is moving, separating the land masses and forming ridges, and if this continued, it would result in the crust spreading further apart over millions of years.

    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.

    1. What are common in the four pictures?

    Answer: Every picture has ridges.

    2. 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?

    Answer: The earth’s crust is moving that’s why the land masses was separated
    and became ridges.

    3. If this event continues for millions of years, what do you think will be the effect
    on the crust? Complete the drawing below to illustrate your answer in question
