Sea Floor Spreading Activity Model
Product Code : JA-GE-7449
The Sea Floor Spreading Activity Model (SKU JA-GE-7449) recreates the opening of the oceans over the past 150 million years, giving visual snapshots from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods into the Cenozoic era. It shows the force behind continental drift, the creation of new lithosphere at mid-ocean ridges that pushes the plates apart, which Wegener could not explain when he proposed drift. The model measures 600 x 350 mm and comes with a teacher's guide. It is supplied by JaincoLab.
Specifications
The model is 600 mm long and 350 mm wide and is supplied with a comprehensive teacher's guide.
