Exploration 2 Seafloor

to determine how the rocks formed on the different continents

to predict how the continents might look in the future with continued plate movement

to explain the process of how the continents are in different locations today than in the past

to support the theory that these continents were once joined together but then moved apart over

time

The ones at the mid-ocean ridge

The ones furthest from the mid-ocean ridge

The plates are converging and destroying rock

The plates are diverging and leaving space for magma to rise

They are going to move together and match up

They are dormant volcanoes that need to be watched closely by scientists

They used to be touching before the plates spread apart

It is a complete coincidence that they are the same age
