For a multiplication R-module M we consider the Zariski topology in the set Spec (M) of prime submodules of M. We investigate the relationship between the algebraic properties of the submodules of M and the topological properties of some subspaces of Spec (M). We also consider some topological aspects of certain frames. We prove that if R is a commutative ring and M is a multiplication R-module, then the lattice Semp (M/N) of semiprime submodules of M/N is a spatial frame for every submodule N of M. When M is a quasi projective module, we obtain that the interval ${\uparrow}(N)^{Semp}(M)=\{P{\in}Semp(M){\mid}N{\subseteq}P\}$ and the lattice Semp (M/N) are isomorphic as frames. Finally, we obtain results about quantales and the classical Krull dimension of M.
