Read Me! Understand Me!
Directions: Read the three plate boundaries
description and characteristics. Understand what
you are reading.
Plate boundaries are the lines at the edges of the
different pieces of the lithosphere. Lithospheric
plates are moving due to the convection current in
the Earth’s interior. The lithosphere is made up of
the crust and upper part of the mantle. There are
two types of crusts: the continental crust which is
thicker but less dense, and the oceanic crust,
which is thinner and denser.
According to the Plate Tectonic Theory, the Earth’s
lithosphere consists of the crust and upper mantle
that move slowly and constantly over time. This
movement causes the formation of plate boundaries
namely: divergent, convergent, and transform fault
boundaries.
(a) Divergent boundaries refer to plates that
separate and move apart in opposite directions
forming new lithosphere - the young seafloor. This
either occurs at mid-ocean ridges (seafloor
spreading) or at rifted continental margins (rift
valley).
(b) Convergent boundaries are formed when two
plates move toward each other. The oceanic plate
bends downward at the subduction zone. This
occurs in two oceanic plates: convergent boundary
and continental plate-oceanic plate convergent
boundary. Oceanic plate sinks because it is denser
than the continental plate. In the case of
convergence of two oceanic plates, the older plate
sinks. Whereas in the convergence of two
continental plates, they collide and buckle up
forming mountain ranges. No subduction occurs in
this type of convergence.
(c) Transform fault boundaries are plates sliding
past or slipping past each other.

What are Lithospheric Plates?
Plates or lithospheric plates are rigid
sections of the lithosphere that moves
as a unit as it floats above the mantle.
The surface of the earth is divided into 7
major and 8 minor plates. The major
plates are considered to be the 7 largest
continents of the earth that includes
North and South America, Asia, Europe,
Antarctica, Africa and Australia.
What are Plate boundaries?
Plate boundaries are the edges where two plates meet. The Plates
are in constant motion. As they interact along their margins,
important geological processes take place such as formation of
landforms such as mountain belt, rift valleys earthquake and
volcanoes.
Key Points
✓ As a result of the motion of the plates, three type of plate
boundaries were formed: Divergent, convergent and Transform-
fault boundaries.
✓ Divergent boundary is formed when plates move apart, creating a
zone of tension.
✓ Convergent boundary is present when two plates collide.
✓ Transform-fault is characterized by plates that are sliding past
each other.
Divergent Boundary is formed when two tectonic plates move apart
from each other creating tension. Molten rocks called magma to rise
from the Earth’s mantle to the surface. The Earth’s surface is cool
enough to solidify the magma that rose, thus, creating new oceanic
crust or seafloor. A divergent boundary is also known as a
constructive boundary. The mid-ocean ridge is formed by the
divergence between oceanic plates while continental rift valley is
formed between continental plates. Rift valley can also be found at
the bottom of the ocean where seafloor spreading occurs. Both the
formation of mid-ocean ridge and rift valley had the occurrence of
an earthquake. Examples are boundaries between South American
plate and African plate, Pacific Plate and Nazca Plate, and North
American Plate and Eurasian Plate.
Convergent boundary is formed when two plates move toward each
other. This boundary has three types: Oceanic plate -Continental
plate boundary, Two Oceanic plates boundary, and Two Continental
plates boundary. In Oceanic-Continental plates boundary and two
oceanic plates boundary, the oceanic plate bends downward into
the mantle through the process called subduction. The leading edge
of the subducted plate melts in the mantle and magma rises forming
a continental volcanic arc in oceanic-continental plate boundary,
which is parallel to the trench that is formed due to subduction.
While in two oceanic plates boundary, island volcanic chain is
formed parallel to the trench. An earthquake occurs in both type of
boundaries. Since the oceanic plate is destroyed at the convergent
boundary, this boundary is also called a destructive boundary.
Examples are boundaries between the Eurasian plate and the
Philippine plate, Nazca Plate and South American Plate, and Pacific
Plate and Australian Plate. With two continental plates converging, a
compression zone is formed. Both plates collide and buckle up
causing mountain ranges such as the Himalayas mountain ranges.

divergence between oceanic plates while continental rift valley is
formed between continental plates. Rift valley can also be found at
the bottom of the ocean where seafloor spreading occurs. Both the
formation of mid-ocean ridge and rift valley had the occurrence of
an earthquake. Examples are boundaries between South American
plate and African plate, Pacific Plate and Nazca Plate, and North
American Plate and Eurasian Plate.
Convergent boundary is formed when two plates move toward each
other. This boundary has three types: Oceanic plate -Continental
plate boundary, Two Oceanic plates boundary, and Two Continental
plates boundary. In Oceanic-Continental plates boundary and two
oceanic plates boundary, the oceanic plate bends downward into
the mantle through the process called subduction. The leading edge
of the subducted plate melts in the mantle and magma rises forming
a continental volcanic arc in oceanic-continental plate boundary,
which is parallel to the trench that is formed due to subduction.
While in two oceanic plates boundary, island volcanic chain is
formed parallel to the trench. An earthquake occurs in both type of
boundaries. Since the oceanic plate is destroyed at the convergent
boundary, this boundary is also called a destructive boundary.
Examples are boundaries between the Eurasian plate and the
Philippine plate, Nazca Plate and South American Plate, and Pacific
Plate and Australian Plate. With two continental plates converging, a
compression zone is formed. Both plates collide and buckle up
causing mountain ranges such as the Himalayas mountain ranges.
There is no subduction, no trench, and no volcanoes formed in this
type of convergent boundary.
Transform fault boundary is formed when two plates are sliding
past each other. It is also called the Strike-slip fault. Rocks that line
the boundary split into pieces as the plates slip at each other. A
crack is then formed creating an undersea canyon or linear fault
valley. San Andreas Fault is an example of this.
What are the two types of lithospheric Plates?
The earth’s lithosphere consists of layers, the crust and the upper
mantle. There are two kinds of crust: The continental crust which is
thicker but less dense and located under the continents. The
oceanic crust which is thinner but denser than the continental crust
and located under the oceans.
The 3 types of CONVERGENT plate boundaries
1. Oceanic and Oceanic plate boundaries
2. Continental and Oceanic plate boundaries
3. Continental and Continental plate boundaries
NOTE: This module will focus only on the Convergence of Oceanic
and Oceanic plate boundaries.
CONVERGING OCEANIC AND OCEANIC PLATE
The map on the left shows a location of a convergent plate
boundary. When these two oceanic plates collide, the older, denser
oceanic plate subducts beneath the other less dense oceanic plate.
The leading edge of the subducted plate will eventually reach the
mantle causing it to melt due to high temperature and pressure,
turning it into magma. The molten material will rise to the surface
creating a volcanic island arc parallel to the trench. Volcanic Island
arc is a chain of volcanoes position in an arc shape (See figure on
the UPPER RIGHT).
The Hawaiian Islands is a volcanic Island arc due to the Converging
Pacific plate that has subducted under the North American plate.
The Subduction will cause formation of trenches, and these trenches
will become sources of earthquakes. Underwater earthquakes
specially the stronger ones can generate TSUNAMIS (Harbor
Waves). Tsunami is a series of Ocean waves with very long
wavelengths caused by large-scale disturbances of the ocean.
TRENCHES- A depression in the seafloor due to subduction process
also called the submarine valleys. An Example of this Trench Is the
Aleutian Trench that can be found parallel to the Hawaiian Islands.
Words to ponder:
Geologic Process – a naturally occurring events/activities of the
earth and its structures. Examples include subduction, formation of
mountain belts, volcanoes and earthquakes.
Geologic Features- Any physical feature of the earth’s surface that is
formed by geologic process. Examples includes trenches, mountains,
volcanoes, rift valleys and etc.
Geologic Events – is a slow or sudden movement either below or on
the surface of the earth. Examples are earthquake, tsunamis,
Volcanic eruptions/ activity , avalanche.
Key Points
✓ When two Oceanic plates converge, the older and more dense
oceanic plate will sink beneath the less dense plate towards the
mantle or what they call as subduction process. This gives rise to
other geologic process, events and features like the formation of
Volcanic island arcs, trenches and generates shallow, intermediate
or deep earthquakes.
✓ Many parts of the Philippine Archipelago originated from oceanic
–oceanic convergence. Thus volcanic chains can be found from
Taiwan to Mindoro in the descent of the west Philippine Sea along
the Manila trench with Mt Taal as one of the active Volcanoes.
There is no subduction, no trench, and no volcanoes formed in this
type of convergent boundary.
Transform fault boundary is formed when two plates are sliding
past each other. It is also called the Strike-slip fault. Rocks that line
the boundary split into pieces as the plates slip at each other. A
crack is then formed creating an undersea canyon or linear fault
valley. San Andreas Fault is an example of this.

What are the two types of lithospheric Plates?
The earth’s lithosphere consists of layers, the crust and the upper
mantle. There are two kinds of crust: The continental crust which is
thicker but less dense and located under the continents. The
oceanic crust which is thinner but denser than the continental crust
and located under the oceans.
The 3 types of CONVERGENT plate boundaries
1. Oceanic and Oceanic plate boundaries
2. Continental and Oceanic plate boundaries
3. Continental and Continental plate boundaries
NOTE: This module will focus only on the Convergence of Oceanic
and Oceanic plate boundaries.
CONVERGING OCEANIC AND OCEANIC PLATE
The map on the left shows a location of a convergent plate
boundary. When these two oceanic plates collide, the older, denser
oceanic plate subducts beneath the other less dense oceanic plate.
The leading edge of the subducted plate will eventually reach the
mantle causing it to melt due to high temperature and pressure,
turning it into magma. The molten material will rise to the surface
creating a volcanic island arc parallel to the trench. Volcanic Island
arc is a chain of volcanoes position in an arc shape (See figure on
the UPPER RIGHT).
The Hawaiian Islands is a volcanic Island arc due to the Converging
Pacific plate that has subducted under the North American plate.
The Subduction will cause formation of trenches, and these trenches
will become sources of earthquakes. Underwater earthquakes
specially the stronger ones can generate TSUNAMIS (Harbor
Waves). Tsunami is a series of Ocean waves with very long
wavelengths caused by large-scale disturbances of the ocean.
TRENCHES- A depression in the seafloor due to subduction process
also called the submarine valleys. An Example of this Trench Is the
Aleutian Trench that can be found parallel to the Hawaiian Islands.

earth and its structures. Examples include subduction, formation of
mountain belts, volcanoes and earthquakes.
Geologic Features- Any physical feature of the earth’s surface that is
formed by geologic process. Examples includes trenches, mountains,
volcanoes, rift valleys and etc.
Geologic Events – is a slow or sudden movement either below or on
the surface of the earth. Examples are earthquake, tsunamis,
Volcanic eruptions/ activity , avalanche.
Key Points
✓ When two Oceanic plates converge, the older and more dense
oceanic plate will sink beneath the less dense plate towards the
mantle or what they call as subduction process. This gives rise to
other geologic process, events and features like the formation of
Volcanic island arcs, trenches and generates shallow, intermediate
or deep earthquakes.
✓ Many parts of the Philippine Archipelago originated from oceanic
–oceanic convergence. Thus volcanic chains can be found from
Taiwan to Mindoro in the descent of the west Philippine Sea along
the Manila trench with Mt Taal as one of the active Volcanoes.
What is an earthquake?
Earthquake is a vibration of Earth due to the
rapid release of energy. It is caused by the
passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks.
Seismic waves are waves produced by
earthquakes. It consists of the Primary (P-
waves), Secondary (S-waves) and the Long
surface waves (L-waves). P-waves and S-waves
travel into the Earth’s interior while L-waves travel on the surface of
the Earth.
Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and
continental plates. The earth’s crust (outer layer of the planet) is
made up of several pieces called plates. The plates under the oceans
are called oceanic plates and the rest are continental plates.
The location inside the earth where an earthquake begins is called
Focus or hypocenter of an earthquake. The point at the Earth’s
surface directly above the focus is called the epicenter of the
earthquake or Earthquake epicenter. During an earthquake, the
strongest shaking occurs in the earthquake’s epicenter.
Scientists use triangulation method to find the epicenter of an
earthquake. When the seismic data is collected from at least three
different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter by
where it intersects. Each seismograph records the times when the
first P waves and second S waves seismic waves arrive.
What is a volcano?
A volcano is a mountain where lava (hot,
liquid rock) comes from a magma chamber
under the ground. A volcano usually has a
summit, a slope and a base. Most
volcanoes have a volcanic crater at the
top.
A traditional way to classify or identify
volcanoes is by its pattern of eruptions.
Classifications of Volcanoes According to
Patterns of Eruptions:
1. Extinct – Volcanoes which have not
erupted in historical times.
2. Dormant – Volcanoes that are quiet or inactive
3. Active – Volcanoes which may erupt again at anytime.
- Volcano that has had at least one eruption during the past 10,000
years.
When they are active, materials pour out of the crater. This includes
lava, steam, gaseous compounds of Sulphur, ash and broken rock
pieces.
Volcanoes form at Earth’s surface whereas earthquakes originate
from deeper within the crust. Volcanoes are formed by the release
of gas and magma. Earthquakes are caused by movement along a
fault. Volcanoes lead to the formation of new rock whereas
earthquakes simply cause waves which disturb the rock.
What is a mountain range?
A Mountain Range is a group or chain of mountains located close
together. It is a series of mountains or hills ranged in a line and
connected by high ground. A mountain system or mountain belt is a
group of mountain ranges with similarity in form, structure, and
alignment that have risen for the same cause.
Mountain ranges are usually segmented by highlands or mountain
passes and valleys. One well known range is the Himalayas range in
Asia. Mountain ranges are formed when pieces of earth’s crust
called tectonic plates crashed into each other several million years
ago.
Key Points
✓ An earthquake epicenter is the point directly above the focus or
hypocenter of the earthquake.
✓ A volcano is a mountain where lava (hot, liquid rock) comes from
a magma chamber under the ground. Volcanoes can be classified
according to its pattern of eruptions which can be an extinct
volcano, a dormant volcano or an active volcano.
✓ Active Volcanoes are volcanoes that has had at least one eruption
during the past 10,000 years and can erupt anytime.

What does the Plate Tectonic Theory state?
The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer
crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the
asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic
and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at
boundaries all over the planet.
Plates interact at three types of plate boundaries: divergent,
convergent and transform. Most of the Earth's geologic activity
takes place at plate boundaries.
Types of Geological features formed in Convergent Boundary
1. Earthquakes 2. Volcanoes 3. Mountain Ranges
What is a volcano? A volcano is an opening in Earth's crust that
allows molten rock from beneath the crust to reach the surface. This
molten rock is called magma when it is beneath the surface and lava
when it erupts or flows from a volcano. Liquid magma containing
dissolved gases rises through cracks in the Earth's crust. As the
magma rises, pressure decreases, allowing the gases to form
bubbles.... Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth's tectonic plates.
What is an earthquake? An earthquake is the shaking and vibration
of the Earth's crust due to movement of the Earth's plates (plate
tectonics).
What are mountain ranges? A mountain range or hill range is a
series of mountains or hills ranged in a line and connected by high
ground. ... Mountain ranges are formed by a variety of geological
processes, but most of the significant ones on Earth are the result of
plate tectonics.
NOTE THAT: Areas with volcanoes have earthquake epicenters
because volcanic activity resulted shaking of ground known as
volcanic earthquake. The distribution of earthquake epicenters,
volcanoes, and mountain ranges serves as the basis for the scientist
in dividing the Earth's lithosphere into several segments called
plates.
Earthquake epicenters are located in areas with volcanoes and
mountain ranges, but not all areas with earthquake epicenter have
volcanoes and mountain ranges.
Volcanoes, mountain ranges and earthquakes are all formed along
convergent boundary although some volcanoes and earthquake are
also formed along divergent boundary, while other earthquakes are
formed along transform fault boundary.
The distribution of earthquake epicenters, volcanoes, and mountain
ranges serves as the basis for the scientist in dividing the Earth's
lithosphere into several segments called plates.
Key Points
✓ Volcanoes, earthquakes and mountain ranges are all results of
the tectonic movement of the Earth. When two plates collide and
one does not completely give way and go under the other the crust
is pushed up forming mountain ranges
✓ Volcano is created when plates are pushed together or pulled
apart. So, the relationship between volcanoes, earthquakes and
mountain ranges is their connection with the tectonic movement of
the Earth.
✓ Volcanoes Are formed along convergent boundaries wherein
when two plates collide, denser plate will subduct beneath the
other and move towards the mantle. When the subducted plate
reaches the mantle, it melts and turns into a magma which rise up
on the surface creating Volcanoes. Some volcanoes are formed on
divergent boundary particularly on the mid-Atlantic ridge. Some
Volcanoes are formed over the hot spot like the Volcanoes on the
Hawaiian Islands.
✓ Mountain Ranges Are formed between the collision of
continental-to-continental convergence. Collision zone is created in
this type of collision, no trench, no volcanoes but only large group of
tall mountains are created known as mountain ranges. One very
good example is the Himalayas mountain.
✓ Plates are large pieces of the upper few hundred kilometers of
earth that moves as a single unit as it floats above the mantle.
✓ Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and
interact at boundaries all over the planet forming geological
features of the earth such as volcanoes, mountain ranges, and
earthquake epicenters.
✓ Plates are in a constant motion. As they interact along their
margins, important geological processes take place, such s the
formation of mountain belts, earthquake and volcanoes making it
appear they are located at the same location.
