1. What does the stripes in the paper represent?

  • The stipes on the paper represent magnetic oscillation from spreading ridges.

2. What does the middle slit represent? What occurs in this region?

  • The middle slit represents an ocean ridge,and what is happening here is the creation of new ocean floor.

3. What is the role of the mid-ocean ridge in the movement of lithospheric plates?

  • The mid-ocean ridge is where the earth expels magma from the inside it which then causes the Lithosphere to move.

4. How does the new seafloor form at the mid-ocean ridge?shy

  • New seafloor is created as the continually rising hot magma cools as it touches cold water.

5. What processes happen at the side slits?

  • The side slits could either push towards the continents or go underneath a convergent boundary

6. Is the Earth getting larger and wider when plates drift away from each other? Explain briefly.

  • No,our planet is not getting larger,only the oceans and the landforms grow or shrinks but not the planet itself.
