Help your students build real understanding of formation of ocean basins through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Students will answer questions such as "The presence of which feature indicates ongoing rifting in a region?", "Which of the following statements is true about the Red Sea's formation?", and "What effect does rifting have on the local climate?"
Each worksheet reviews the same core ideas from a different angle. Use them across a week or unit so students see the material three times without it ever feeling repetitive.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Sea Floor Spreading, Continental Drift Over Deep, Orogenic Events and Mountain, Tectonics and Earth's Rock, Paleo Plate Reconstructions, and Plate Motion’s Role, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard HS-ESS2-2.
