Submission Required
Students examine printed maps of fossil distributions, seafloor age patterns, and continental fit diagrams. In small groups, they annotate patterns directly on transparent overlays using colored markers, identifying at least two spatial trends and one anomaly. Groups discuss how these patterns might serve as evidence of past plate motion.
