PROCEDURES
ELICIT (Access prior knowledge)-5 Minutes
Different colored chips will be passed by on by the students as they sing “Makulay ang buhay sa
sinabawang gulay” song. When the song stops, the student holding the chip last will have to
answer the question. Each questions when answered correctly corresponds to a certain point.
(Refer to the attached rubrics for recitation).

The following are the questions for review:

1. How will you describe plate tectonics?
2. How will you describe the distribution of earthquake epicenters, volcanoes and
mountains around the world?
3. How will you describe the basis of Scientists in dividing the Earth into several plates?
4. What are the three types of plate boundaries?
5. How will you describe each type of plate boundaries?

*Refer to the attached rubrics for scoring student’s answer.

*ICON:
1. The song “Makulay ang Buhay sa Sinabawang Gulay is in connection with the theme of the
Nutrition Month Celebration.
2.Relating the division of major continents into the division of major and minor plates.

ENGAGE (Get the students’ minds focused on the topic)- 10 Minutes

Mix and Match
Cut outs of different geologic activities and features will be given to each group. Students will
try to match these processes and features to a specific type of plate boundary movement which
are posted on different corners of the room. After doing the activity, each group will try to
explain and justify their answers applying their previous knowledge in types of plate

1
boundaries.

Key Points:
Students should come up with the idea that different geologic processes like volcanism,
earthquakes or subduction occur at different types of plate boundaries. Each processes
results in the formation of some geologic features like mountains and volcanoes.

EXPLORE (Provide students with common experience)- 5 Minutes

A short video clip will be presented which will give some information regarding geologic
activities and features related to different types of plate movements.

EXPLAIN (Teach the concept)- 15 Minutes

Proceed with the discussion of the geologic processes that occurs at each type of plate
boundaries.

Key Points:
1. Different geologic activities occur at each type of plate boundaries. This result in the
formation of different landforms like volcanoes and mountains.
a. Convergent plate boundaries
 Oceanic-Continental Convergence- This results in the subduction of the
oceanic crust since it is denser than the continental crust. Earthquakes and
volcanic activities as well as formation of mountains and trenches may form
from this type of movement.
 Oceanic-Oceanic Convergence- Subduction also happens at this type of
movement. Aside from earthquake and volcanic activities and the formation
of mountains and trenches, tsunami and island arcs may also form.
 Continental-Continental Convergence- this type of movement may cause
earthquakes and formation of mountain ranges
b. Divergent plate boundaries –this result into earthquake occurrences and formation
of rift valleys and ocean trenches.
c. Transform fault boundary- it results in shallow earthquakes.

The next part of the lesson would be correcting some misconceptions from the activity done
during the engage part, if there’s any.

LOCALIZATION: Giving the Philippines as an example in the oceanic-oceanic convergence.

Specifically the Mt. Pinatubo.

ELABORATE (students apply the information learned)- 15 Minutes

PLATE TECTONICS VACATION
Execute this through a group activity. The activity is entitled “Plate Tectonics Vacation. Each
group will need to plan out the logistics of their dream vacation. They will need to visit some
land formations (i.e. mountain range, island, volcanoes, mid-ocean ridge, rift valley, fault line,
etc.) created by lithospheric movement. They will need to travel to a convergent, divergent,
and transform boundary, as well as a hotspot. A plate boundary map will be used as their
reference). They can either find a real place like a resort to stay at, or create an imaginary one.
But it is important that they find a real land formation that is created at that plate boundary!
Each group will puck one from the following as their destination:

 Oceanic-Continental Convergence
 Oceanic- Oceanic Convergence
 Continental-Continental Convergence

2
  Divergent Plate Boundary
 Transform Fault Boundary

Each group will present their planned activity.

At the end of group presentation, make an emphasis how some scenic and historical places
formed from different types of plate movements became tourist attraction in some places.

LOCALIZATION: Mention Mount Pinatubo as one, located on a boundary between the

Continental Eurasian and Oceanic Philippine plate.

ICON: Making Llama as a form of transportation. Giving some trivia about this relative of
camels.

II. Give at least one (1) significance from plate movements.

EXTEND (Deepen conceptual understanding through use in new context)-2 Minutes

Since the Philippines is situated in a place where chains of volcanoes and earthquake epicentres
are found, it is important that each and every one of us are prepared not just during time of
typhoons, landslide or floods. Preparedness in time of earthquake is also important.
(LOCALIZATION: Recalling the instance of the July 16, 1990 earthquakes).
For this part, each group will be tasked to prepare for a presentation where disaster
preparedness is the main topic. Each group will draw from the following choices:
1. Disaster preparedness and drills
2. Survival Kits/Emergency Plan
3. Waste Management

3
 4. First aid training and kits
5. School and Classroom Emergency Exits and Emergency Drills
*Refer to rubrics for scoring on page 33 of Science 10 LM.

Fold Mountains

The compressional forces stemming from a convergent plate boundary, where two plates
collide with one another, can create fold mountains. This may involve the collision of two
continental plates or a continental plate and oceanic plate, forcing sedimentary rocks
upwards into a series of folds. Fold mountains usually form along the edges of continents,
because these margins tend to accumulate the greatest sedimentary deposits. When tectonic
plates collide, layers of accumulated rock crumple and fold. Fold mountains 100 million years
old or less, such as the Himalayas, are known as young fold mountains and account for the
planet’s highest, most impressive ranges. Old fold mountains, which typically formed 250
million years ago or more, mark formerly active plate boundaries and tend to be significantly
lower and more eroded; examples include the Appalachians and Urals.

The Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau have formed as a result of the collision
between the Indian Plate and Eurasian Platewhich began 50 million years ago and continues
today. 225 million years ago (Ma) India was a large island situated off the Australian coast and
separated from Asia by the Tethys Ocean.

Ocean trenches form at two kinds of convergent plate boundaries: where a continental and
oceanic plate converge, or where two oceanic plates converge. Oceanic plates are denser
than continental plates and so plunge beneath them, or “subducts”; at an oceanic/oceanic
boundary, whichever plate is denser – the older, cooler plate – subducts beneath the other.
In both cases, the subduction forms an undersea trench. These trenches are long, narrow
valleys and include the deepest areas of the ocean. The deepest ocean trench is the
Marianas Trench, reaching a depth of almost 36,000 feet below sea level.

The Mariana Trench is part of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana subduction system that forms
the boundary between two tectonic plates. In this system, the western edge of one plate, the
Pacific Plate, is subducted (i.e., thrust) beneath the smaller Mariana Plate that lies to the west.

Island Arcs

The subduction process that occurs when an oceanic plate converges with another oceanic
plate can lead to volcanoes being formed paralleling the trench. The volcanic debris and lava
build up on the ocean floor over millions of years and eventually results in a formerly
submarine volcano rising above sea level to create an island. A curved chain of these
volcanoes, known as an island arc, usually occurs in these cases. The magma that forms these

12
arcs derives from partial melting around the descending plate or the overlying oceanic
lithosphere.

Examples of island arcs are the Japanese islands, the Kuril Islands, and the Aleutian Islands of
Alaska, shown here. Island Arcs are formed on the opposing edge of a subducted slab. For each
case, there is an associated subducting slab and a trench. ... The Hawaiian Islands are
an example of this type of island formation.

Most islands are

found at tectonic plate boundarieseither from spreading centers (like Iceland) or
fromsubduction zones (like the Aleutian Islands). There are few 'hot spots' on Earth and the
one under Hawaiiis right in the middle of one of the largest crustalplates on Earth - the
Pacific Plate.

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate

tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle
beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonicplates meet at a
divergent boundary.

Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater (Iceland is an exception) and formsubmarine
mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the process isvolcanic, volcanoes and
earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges are not as violent as they are at convergent plate
boundaries.

Volcanoes at convergent plate boundaries are found all along the Pacific Oceanbasin, primarily
at the edges of the Pacific, Cocos, and Nazca plates. Trenches mark subduction zones.

13
 The Cascades are a chain of volcanoes at a convergent boundary where an oceanic plate is
subducting beneath a continental plate.

The Facts on Rifts

A rift is an area where the Earth’s crust is spreading apart. Driven by tectonic forces, the
rifting process can, over time, ultimately lead to the emergence of new continents. Rifts are
often narrow and possess steep sides. Most rifts -- and their volcanoes -- are part of mid-
ocean ridges. However, occasionally, rifts can be located wholly within major land masses.
These rare continental rifts may be associated with existing or developing plate boundaries,
or they may be located away from any plate boundaries.

divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each
other.Along these boundaries, lava spews from long fissures and geysers spurt superheated
water. Frequent earthquakes strike along the rift. Beneath the rift, magma—molten rock—rises
from the mantle.

Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to
produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.

Examples

 Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
 Red Sea Rift.
 Baikal Rift Zone.
 East African Rift.
 East Pacific Rise.
 Gakkel Ridge.
 Galapagos Rise.
 Explorer Ridge.

Fissure Eruptions

Although it is on rare occasion possible for other types of eruptions to occur, most often the
type of volcanic eruption occurring at a rift is a fissure eruption. Fissure eruptions differ from
many types of eruptions elsewhere -- while most other eruptions entail volcanic material
expelled from a centralized vent, fissure eruptions occur along a narrow line segment. In
everyday terms, the general pattern of non-rift volcanoes can be compared to that of circular
backyard swimming pools, whereas fissure volcanoes are more akin to lap pools. Fissure
eruptions occur in the portions of the rift underlain by a particular kind of magma known as
basaltic magma. The most common magma type in mid-ocean ridges, basaltic magma
possesses a low viscosity, meaning that it is thin and runny.

14
Geography and Examples

Because most rifts are part of mid-ocean ridges, most volcanic eruptions at rifts occur
underwater. The mid-Atlantic ridge -- a divergent plate boundary separating the plates on
which Europe and Africa lie from the plates on which the Americas lie -- is one of the Earth’s
primary locations for rift eruptions. The island nation of Iceland sits on the mid-Atlantic ridge,
making it one of the few places in the world where rift eruptions on land can be observed on
a regular basis. The largest lava flow in recorded history occurred as the result of a fissure
eruption of an Icelandic volcano. Another major site of rift volcanoes is the East Pacific Rise,
sometimes called just the Pacific Rise, an ocean ridge which runs roughly parallel to the
western coast of South America. Rift eruptions also occur on land in portions of East Africa,
where scientists suspect a divergent boundary is beginning to form. The world-famous Mount
Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya are part of this volcanic rift system.
