Importance of plate movement
Explain: What do you think will happen
to Earth if tectonic plates are not
moving?
(Ano ang sa tingin mo mangyayari sa
Earth kung tumigil ang paggalaw ng
tectonic plates)
- We can say that tectonic plates
have been a part of our Earth that
moves the land to a direction. It is
crucial to the world to transform
and recycle old plates. As mantle
has been a busy, hot place, it serves
continents, making Earth habitable,
retain the temperature inside Earth
hot, and maintaining greenhouse
gases.
2. Oceanic to Oceanic DE LEON
- The oceanic to oceanic is where two
oceanic lithosphere collide. The
older and colder plate subduct
beneath the younger and warmer
plate thus creating volcanic arc and
island arc and underwater
movement then there will be no
escape for magma upwards.
3. Continental to continental VALDEJUEZA
- It is being said that plate tectonics
move 4 inches or 10 centimeters
per year so if plate tectonics
stopped moving then mountain
ranges and volcanoes would erode
into a flat surface in a million years
or so.
4. Oceanic to continental SILOS
Oceanic is more denser and colder
than continental so it will be the
one to subduct and melt into
magma.
- The result would be: there will be
no more underwater or inland
volcanoes.
5. Convergent MAGHILOM
- It is where the plates collide or
magbangaan. Yung colliding ng
edges of these plates form
mountain ranges, volcanoes, island
arcs, and kung oceanic to
continental ay magreresulta sa
pagbuo ng trenches. Denser plates
subduct (umillalim) to less denser
plates therefore creating So if plate
tectonics stopped moving, they will
slip down in a million years then
magiging paliit or pababa ang mga
mountains.
6. Divergent DUEZA
- This is where plates drift away to
each other.
- Sea floor spreading will also stop.
Meaning, there will be no new
plates formed.
-  All of the sediment produced by
the simultaneous erosion of the
 world's mountains would have to
go somewhere—and that
somewhere is the ocean.
Therefore hardening the plates
at the top layer.
7. Transform SEVILLO
- Plates are sliding past to each
other. Unlike the famous San
Andreas fault, transform plate
boundary will not shift land mass.
8. Slab pull
-New plates will not be expected if slab
pull stopped.
9. Ridge Push TOGONON
- Old and new plates will be stagnant
or not flowing since there will be no
force in the mantle to push the
ridge enough.
10. Mantle Convection Theory SADILI
- Gaya ng namention kanina, Earth
temperature is crucial kasi kung
may movement ang mantle, that
means that it has heat.
- A key note to this is: Hot air rises
(yung magma tataas) then cold air
sink (yung cold plates subduct).
Resulting to a

lithosphere to the surface.
11. Claim 1, Mantle will lessen Earth
Movement
- If plate tectonics are not moving,
the Earth will have no mountain
ranges (mountain), oceans and no
possible chance for earthquake to
happen.
12. Claim 2, 7 Continents spread out
- Mantle will lessen the Earth’s
movement so the temperature of
core will be colder. Earth will be flat
in a million years.
13. Claim 4, Pacific Ring of Fire
- The future for countries like Japan,
Australia, Indonesia, and or country
Philippines, an abundance
(karamihan) of volcanoes and
earthquakes
Because planets more
massive than Earth would
retain significantly more
internal heat from their
initial formation, and
because heat drives plate
tectonics (via the conveyor
belt of sinking and rising
rock within the mantle),
plate activity should be
prolonged on such planets.
The trouble is that
Valencia’s study (and
many studies that came
later) analyzed only one
parameter: a planet’s size.
Anywhere between 600
million and 3.5 billion years ago,
slabs made of the crust and
upper mantle–collectively
known as the lithosphere–
became cold and dense enough
to be able to sink into the lower
mantle, kicking off the era of
plate tectonics. The lithosphere
became divided into a jigsaw
puzzle of plates that are
constantly jostling across the
planet’s surface, driving
geological action above and
below the oceans. (Meet the next
supercontinent, Pangaea
Proxima.) lithosphere sink
At mid-ocean ridges, mantle
material rises, decompresses,
and triggers profuse melting,
creating oceanic lithosphere. The
colder and denser edges of the
slabs help pull this lithospheric
plate away from these ridges and
down into the depths. They
usually dive beneath a less dense
oceanic or continental plate in a
process known as subduction.
This activity generates explosive
volcanoes and fresh crust at the
surface.
\After all the stopping of plate
tectonic movement, mountains
would go erode by the other
factor ie wind and waves into
hilly plateaus. Eventually, much
of the flattened continents will
be underwater.
Subduction zones begone,
No more volcano explosions
And as happens today, parts of
the lower lithosphere would
continue to peel off and fall into
particularly hot parts of the
mantle. This would cause mantle
material to rise in its place,
pushing up the crust and
forming isolated mountain
ranges and associated basins.
This activity would cause minor
earthquakes and maybe even
additional pockets of volcanism.
 Earth will “become a dead
planet, like Mercury,” he says.
Perhaps just before it does,
Earth’s liquid core will cool
enough to end convection,
causing the planet’s protective
magnetic field to fail. The sun’s
stream of energetic particles will
strip away our atmosphere, and
its expansion will boil away the
oceans.
Another 2008 paper used
evidence of past plate tectonic
activity to suggest that plate
tectonics are intermittent . Its
authors predict that the next
major pause will take place 350
million years from now, when
the Pacific Ocean closes and its
many subduction zones
deactivate.

 To stop plate tectonics would require
eliminating these great lithic boiling pots,
