Investigate tectonic plate behaviour. Simulate the movement of tectonic plates over millions of years. Investigate how the changing magnetic polarity of the Earth has helped geologists form theories about tectonic plate movements. This learning object is the second in a series of three objects.
Objective
Students investigate the formation of magnetic stripes at divergent plate boundaries.
Students interpret the role of magnetic stripes in support of tectonic plate theory.
