Introductory Message
Welcome to the Science 10 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Causes of Plate
Movements.
To the teachers:
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from
public schools to assist you, the teacher or facilitator, in helping the learners meet the
standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and
economic constraints in schooling.
As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also
need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage their own
learning for optimal development and understanding. Furthermore, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in this module.
To the parents:
As vital partners in education, your support to your children’s learning at home is a great
factor to ensure that they will become successful in what they do. As parents, you are
expected to monitor your children’s progress while they are accomplishing the tasks in this
module while at the same time, ensuring that they learn independently.
The objectives set for this learning material will be certainly accomplished with your
steadfast guidance and support.
To the learners:
This learning resource hopes to engage you into guided and independent learning activities
at your own pace and time. This also aims to help you acquire the needed 21st century skills
while taking into consideration your needs and circumstances.
Furthermore, it is our objective that you will have fun while going through this material. Take
charge of your learning pace and in no time, you will successfully meet the targets and
objectives set in this module which are intended for your ultimate development as a learner
and as a person.
The following are some guidelines and reminders to remember when using this module:
1. Use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the module.
Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer the What I Know section before moving on to the next
activities included in the module.
3. Read the instructions carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to
consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are not alone.
We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and gain
deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

What’s In
In the past lesson, you have learned the three types of tectonic
boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent,
where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in
relation to each other. Due to these movements, plates move at a rate of one
to two inches (three to five centimeters) per year.

Plate Movements
Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the
Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in
a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools,
and eventually sinks down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed
and then it rises again.
Activity 1
Instruction:
The jumbled words below are some of the causes of plate movements.
Rearrange them to find the correct wordsand afterwards, draw the words that
you have formed.
1. Chenstre __________
2. acrslandis __________
4. geidr __________
5. Tinsaounm __________
What Is It
Activity 2
Instruction : Connect the dots to trace the faults where the plate
movement occurs, and describe what is being formed after.
What’s More
Due to the extreme temperatures inside the earth, hot magma rises
from the mantle at mid-ocean ridges,thus pushing the plates apart. As a
result, earthquakes occur along the fractures that appear as the plates move
away from each other. Some examples for this movement include the East
African Rift. Meanwhile, mid-ocean ridges where two ocean platesmoved
apart can be seen in some regions near the Azores and Iceland.
Activity 3
Instruction : In a one whole sheet of bond paper, draw the plate
movements as shown in the figure from the previous page. Check your
work following the rubrics below.

plate movements. Use a symbol (example: an arrow) to show your
answer in the table below.

What Is It
The inside of the Earth is filled with unimaginable force and energy.
Several forces within it are key factors for plate movements.
Lastly, slab pull is a driving factor, too. It is the part of the motion of a
tectonic plate caused by its subduction.
Activity 2
Instruction: For this activity, you will describe the effects of the different
forces that cause plate movements, such as thermal convection, ridge pull
and slab pull. Refer to Figure 2.1 above for your answers.

plate tectonics. It occurs at mid-ocean ridges as the result of the rigid
