MAP :)

Map name-Scientific Specialty: Geochronology
Data-Sea floor age in millions of years
Group members-Alyssa Dolney, Carley Campbell, Kaila Silver, Daniele Lozano
Observations-Around the continents where they would have been connected due to Pangaea is older than other parts. Where heat flow on Plate Boundary Map the ground is newer. Possibly due to heat in the core creating new rock. Newer rock follows the boundaries of the tectonic plates.The older the rock the cooler the heat flow. The age of the rocks along the boundaries of the plates vary from very old to pretty new.


Best guess- We think heat flow is what causes the age of the rocks.
