About This Product
Continental drift was proposed long before anyone could say what force moved whole continents, and sea floor spreading is the answer this model sets out to show. Working through the activity, a class retraces 150 million years of ocean expansion as a series of stages, which turns an abstract plate tectonics idea into something students can follow step by step in a school or college geography lesson. The Sea Floor Spreading Activity Model can be exported to the Philippines, Armenia, Tanzania, Fiji, Laos and Saudi Arabia.
