Continental split - modelling the birth of the Atlantic Ocean

Today's ELI is 'Continental split – the opening of the Atlantic Ocean; modelling how the continents moved, from Pangaea to today'.


This is a scissors and paper activity modelling the relative positions and movements of the continents as the ocean floor spreads either side of an oceanic ridge.

Other activities related to constructive or divergent plate margins can be seen in our Plate Tectonics category.
