Note from the author:
This worksheet requires a model of convection currents that can be purchased through geoblox.com. The questions can be answered without the model but using the model is helpful for understanding

Rotate the convection currents on your model in the direction that the arrows are pointing, as you do this think about what the currents are doing to the land above them. What will happen to the Red Sea between Africa and the Arabian Penninsula as those two pieces of land get pulled apart?

Rotate the convection currents on your model in the direction that the arrows are pointing, as you do this think about what the currents are doing to the land above them. What will happen to the East African Rift Zone as the convection currents continue to pull the Afar Traingle and Somalia in different directions?
