• In 1960, the American geophysicist,
Harry Hess, explained how the
convection currents in the Earth’s
interior make the seafloor spread.
Convection currents carry heat from
the molten materials in the mantle
and core towards the lithosphere.
These currents ensure that the
materials formed in the lithosphere
are “recycled” back into the mantle. In
this “recycling” process, which was

also explained why look-alike

are found on different
continents.

these stresses, rocks
experience changes in volume

• When forces are applied to
solid materials they may bend
or break. When sands or

produced; when they break,
faults are formed.

The continents fit together
like a jigsaw puzzle. This is most
evident in the matching coastlines
of South America and Africa.

Discussion:
The Theory of Seafloor Spreading
Seafloor spreading is a geologic process
where there is a gradual addition of new
oceanic crust in the ocean floor through a
volcanic activity while moving the older
rocks away from the mid-oceanic ridge.
The mid-ocean ridge is where the
seafloor spreading occurs, in which
tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth’s

2. Fossil Correlation
Similar animal and plant
fossils were found in different
continents. The fossils of the
reptile mesosaurus were found
along the coastlines of South
America and Africa which are
separated by the Atlantic Ocean.
Moreover, the fossil of a fernlike
plant glossopteris was found
distributed in all the continents.
3. Rock and Mountain
Correlation
In the matching coastlines
of northwestern Africa and eastern
Brazil, South America, the rocks
are of the same type and age.
Geologic features such as
mountain ranges are found along
matching coastlines like that of the
Appalachian Mountains and
Scandinavia.
4. Paleoclimate Data
• Coal seams are found in
Antarctica. Coal is produced
from organic matter like dead
plants and animals. In a very
cold place like Antarctica, it
would be impossible for most
organisms to survive.
The presence of coal indicates

in rock that is the response to
compressional forces. Folds are
most visible in rocks that contain
layering.
For plastic deformation of rock to
occur a number of conditions must
be met, including:
• The rock material must have
the ability to deform under
pressure and heat.
• The higher the temperature of
the rock the more plastic it
becomes.
• Pressure must not exceed the
internal strength of the rock. If it
does, fracturing occurs.
Deformation must be applied
slowly.
TYPES of FOLD:
1. Monocline - fold involves a
slight bend in otherwise parallel
layers of rock.
2. Anticline is a convex up fold in
rock that resembles an arch like
structure with the rock beds (or
limbs) dipping way from the center
of the structure
3. Syncline is a fold where the rock
layers are warped downward. Both
lithosphere—split apart from each other.
The Process of Sea Floor Spreading
The mid-ocean ridge is the region where
new oceanic crust is created. The
oceanic crust is composed of rocks that
move away from the ridge as new crust is
being formed. The formation of the new
crust is due to the rising of the molten
material (magma) from the mantle by
convection current. When the molten
magma reaches the oceanic crust, it
cools and pushes away the existing rocks
from the ridge equally in both directions.
A younger oceanic crust is then formed,
causing the spread of the ocean floor.
The new rock is dense but not as dense
as the old rock that moves away from the
ridge. As the rock moves, further, it
becomes colder and denser until it
reaches an ocean trench or continues
spreading.
It is believed that the successive
movement of the rocks from the ridge
progressively increases the ocean depth
and have greater depths in the ocean
trenches. Seafloor spreading leads to the
renewal of the ocean floor in every 200
million years, a period of time for building

that the continent was once
inhabited by many organisms. It
also gives a clue that Antarctica
was once located near the equator
where abundant animal and plant
organisms could be found.
• Tillites, which are deposits of
rock debris left by glaciers,
were found in Africa, South
America, India, and Australia.
They were of the same age
and type. The presence of
tillites indicates that those
places had glaciers in the
past, were once located near
the South Pole, and had
drifted away from each other.
Senior High School Module & Lesson Plan Exemplar: Earth Science
anticlines and synclines are the
result of compressional stress.
2. FAULT form in rocks when the
stresses overcome the internal
strength of the rock resulting in a
fracture. A fault can be defined as
the displacement of once
connected blocks of rock along a
fault plane. This can occur in any
direction with the blocks moving
away from each other. Faults occur
from both tensional and
compressional forces.
TYPES of FAULT:
There are several different kinds of
faults. These faults are named
according to the type of stress that
acts on the rock and by the nature
of the movement of the rock blocks
either side of the fault plane.
1. Normal faults occur when
tensional forces act in opposite
directions and cause one slab of
the rock to be displaced up and the
other slab down
2. Reverse faults develop when
compressional forces exist.
Compression causes one block to
be pushed up and over the other
a mid-ocean ridge, moving away across
the ocean and subduction into a trench.
The Subduction Process
The highly dense oceanic crust that is
formed after a progressive spreading is
destined to two possible occurrences. It
can either be subducted into the ocean
deep trench or continue to spread across
the ocean until it reaches a coast.
Subduction is the slanting and downward
movement of the edge of a crustal plate
into the mantle beneath another plate. It
occurs when an incredibly dense ocean
crust meets a deep ocean trench. On the
other hand, if the ocean crusts
continuous to move along the ocean and
not found a trench, no subduction will
occur. It will continue to spread until a
coast is found and literally pushing it
away towards its direction.
