Closure:

Based from the activity, what are the different major lithospheric plates? Describe
the boundary between these plates.

ACTIVITY 2: Setting Boundaries

Learning Competency: Describe the different types of plate boundaries. S10ES-Ia-j36.2

Learning objective:
1. Realize the importance of location of the different lithospheric plates.
Materials: activity sheet, ballpen
Procedure
1. The world is currently facing COVID-19 which was started in China. This easily
spreads from the different parts of the world and been declared by the World Health
Organization as pandemic. Reflect on how the virus COVID-19 spreads.
2. Study Figure A that shows the image of the Earth 225 million years ago and Figure B
that shows the image of the Earth at present. Answer questions 1 and 2.

Figure A Figure B

3. The following data shows the number of persons affected by COVID-19 all over the
globe. Study the given data and answer question number 3.

Map of confirmed COVID-19 cases for every 100, 000 population as of June 11, 2020.

GUIDE QUESTIONS

1. What do you think will happen if the pandemic COVID-19 happened during the
time in figure A? Relate your answer in terms of the location of the plates.
2. On which figure will transmission of the virus will be the fastest and why? Relate
your answer in terms of the location of the plates.
3. What is the effect of the location of the different lithospheric plates at present on
the spread of COVID-19?

Closure: Based on the lesson, how important is doing lockdown in every country or place?
