Base your answers to questions 1 through 4 on the generalized map below, which shows a portion of the Atlantic Ocean floor located between South America and Africa. Isolines show the approximate age, in million years, of the ocean-floor bedrock on each side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Points A, B, and X represent locations on the ocean floor.

1. On the grid in your answer booklet, construct a line graph of bedrock age by plotting the age of the bedrock shown by each isoline that crosses line AB. Points A and B are plotted on the grid. Connect the plots from A to B with a line.

2. Estimate the age of the ocean-floor bedrock at point X.

3.

The Great Rift Valley

Rifting of Earth’s crust in eastern Africa began during the Neogene Period as the Ethiopian and Kenyan Domes formed. These two huge domes were created as Earth’s mantle pushed up the overlying crust. As the crust was forced upward, the resulting tension cracked the crust, resulting in the eruption of volcanoes and the formation of large rifts. The crust continued to pull apart, forming rift valleys. These valleys have become deeper and are currently becoming filled with sediments, igneous rock, and water.

1. How many million years ago did the Ethiopian and Kenyan Domes form? ______mya

2. On the diagram, draw two curved arrows, one on each side of the dashed line, to show the direction of movement of the convection currents within the asthenosphere that caused the formation of the dome and the rift valley near location X.

3. Which two lithospheric plates are separated by a mid-ocean ridge in the northeastern portion of

the Ethiopian Dome? _____________________________________________

4. Which cross section best represents the convection currents in the mantle beneath the Peru-Chile Trench?
