    1) The document discusses divergent plate boundaries and the processes that occur when tectonic plates move apart. 2) As the plates separate over millions of years, the land masses split further apart and new ocean floor is formed from magma rising up between the separating plates. 3) Eventually, the splitting plates result in the formation of rift valleys and oceanic ridges on the ocean floor as new crust is continually generated at divergent boundaries.

    Activity #4
    Going Separate Ways

    I. Objectives
     Explain the processes that occur along divergent boundaries
     Determine the results of plates that are moving apart

    II. Materials
     Photographs of Rift Valleys and Oceanic Ridges

    III. Observations

    Q28. What are common in the four pictures?


    Based on the four pictures, cracks and breaks between the two land masses are
    commonly observed.

    Q29. Millions of years ago, the land masses in each picture were once connected. What do you
    think is happening to the Earth’s crust in these pictures?
    In these pictures, the Earth’s crust is spreading or splitting apart.

    Q30. If this event continues for millions of years, what do you think will be the effect on the crust?
    If this event continues for millions of years, the two land forms will be farther from each
    other and new ocean floor will be formed.

    Q31. Complete the drawing below to illustrate your answer in question number 30.

    IV. Conclusion
    Hence, most divergent boundaries are situated along underwater mountain ranges called
    oceanic ridges. As the plates separate, new materials from the mantle ooze up to fill the gap. These
    materials will slowly cool and will eventually produce new oceanic floor and formation of rift valleys
    and oceanic ridges.
