NAME _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ DATE _ _ _ _ _ _ CLASS _ _ _ _ _ _ __ ENRICHMENT Evidence for Continental Drift STUDYING SEA-FLOOR SPREADING ON LAND Read the information and study the maps to answer the questions that follow. You know from your textbook how sea-floor spreading changes the ocean floor. You know that magma rises at the mid-ocean ridge and flows away from the ridge. In general, this activity is hid den beneath the ocean's water. But there is a place where sea-floor spreading can be seen on land. o 100 km Key .'. ~ Active volcanoes; formed from today to ILLJ 10 000 years ago D Formed 10 000 to 2 000 000 years ago r~:.>\l Formed 2 000 000 to 63 000 000 years ago FIGURE 1 • Active volcanoes FIGURE 2 1.
