ACTIVITY # 3A
MODULE 1 Head-on Collision
Score:______________

Part A: Converging Continental Plate and Oceanic Plate

Objectives:
 Explain the processes that occur along convergent
boundaries.
 Determine the consequences of colliding plates.

Procedure:
1. Study Figure 10 showing a cross-sectional diagram
of plates that are converging, and answer the
questions that follow.

Q1.What type of plate is Plate A? What about Plate B? Why do

you say so?

Q2. Describe what happens to Plate A as it collides with Plate

B? Why?

Q3. What do you think may happen to the leading edge of Plate A as it continues to move downward? Why?

Q4. What do you call this molten material?

Q5. What is formed on top of Plate B?

Q6. As the plates continue to grind against each other, what other geologic event could take place?

ACTIVITY # 3B

Head-on Collision
Part B: Convergence of Two Oceanic Plates

Objectives:
 Explain the processes that occur along convergent boundaries.
 Determine the consequences of colliding plates.

Procedure:
1. Study Figure 11. It shows a cross-section of two converging oceanic plates.
2. Using your knowledge gained from the previous activity, identify the geologic events or features resulting
from this collision.
Guide Questions:

Q1. What are the geologic processes/events that will occur because of this plate movement?

Q2. What geologic features might form at the surface of Plate A?

Q3. If the edge of Plate A suddenly flicks upward, a large amount of water may be displaced. What could be formed at
the surface of the ocean?

ACTIVITY # 3C

Head-on Collision
Part C: Two Continental Plates Converging

Objectives:
 Explain the processes that occur along
convergent boundaries.
 Determine the consequences of colliding
plates.
Procedure:
1. Study Figure 16. It shows a cross-section of
two converging continental plates.

Guide Questions:

Q1. What geologic event could take place with this type
of plate movement?

Q2. During the collision, what geologic features might form at the surface of the plates?

Q3. In terms of the consequences on the Earth’s lithosphere, how will you differentiate this type of convergent plate
boundary with the other two?
