Divergent plate boundaries - what are their features?
Manage episode 263306576 series 2617190
In this episode, I talk about the geological and topographic features of divergent plate boundaries, including rift valleys, Mid Ocean Ridges (MORs), normal faults, transform faults, and the ages of rocks moving away from the boundaries. This is a great summary for students learning about Plate Tectonics.
If you want a summary of the theory - you can find a podcast episode that covers the theory here.
If you want a booklet covering the theory and evidence, check out this one - its great idea as a class set.
And finally, if you are looking for activities for students on Plate tectonics, then see what we have in our Member Resources page.
