GRADE 10 SICENCE: PLATE BOUNDARIES

Activity 1: Define!
Use your book as your reference.
Define the following types of boundaries.

CONVERGENT = ______________________________________________________________

DIVERGENT= ________________________________________________________________

TRANSFORM- FAULT = _______________________________________________________

Activity 2: Pair it!

Direction: Study the figure below which shows the relative motion of the plates indicated
by the arrows. Study the direction of the arrows on the map. Identify the plates that lie
on the divergent, convergent and transform fault boundaries and fill the table. Then,
answer the guide questions.

Convergent Boundary Divergent Boundary Transform Fault

Guide Questions:
1. What type of plate boundary is formed between Pacific plate and Nazca plate?
___________________________________________________________________________
2. What is the name of the plate which collides with Philippine plate at the
convergent boundary?
