That’s right!

D. Engage

From the activities we did, what have you noticed?

- Ma’am! I have noticed that its all about
plate tectonic boundaries/plate
boundaries.

That’s Correct!

Now, what is your idea/s about plate boundaries? - Ma’am! Plate boundaries are process
of tectonic plate movement.
 - Ma’am! Plate Boundaries are sections
of Earth’s crust that roughly fit
together and meet at places.

That’s Great!

For sure you already know regarding the pictures I

showed you. What are those pictures all about? Are - Yes Ma’am! I think the pictures are the
those pictures related to plate boundaries? kinds or types of plate boundaries.

Very Good!

So what are the types of plate boundaries?

- The Plate Boundaries has three types
including divergent, convergent, and
transform plate boundaries.
Exactly!

E. Explore

To further understand our lesson, let’s have an activity,

I will group you into three groups. In this activity, each
group will watch their assigned short video clip about
the three types of plate boundaries and you will have
to answer the following questions.

[Group 1]

[Group 2]

https://youtu.be/d-8MjqwZ6Og

[Group 3]

https://youtu.be/Ikz9YRpNzpE

1. What type of plate boundary is shown in the

video?
2. What did you observed in the video? Describe
 you observation.
3. When did this type of plate boundary most
likely to occur?

F. Explain

Let us hear and examine your answers on the activity.

Each group will check their own papers. Each group
will have a designated speaker to explain their answers
to the guide questions. (The teacher will assist the
learner in the presentation. The teacher will provide
the correct scientific terms to every needed
observation.)
[Group 1]

1. What type of plate boundary is shown in the - Ma’am! It is Divergent Plate Boundary.
video?

2. What did you observed in the video? Describe
you observation.
- In the video, we observed that as the
plates separate, new materials from
the mantle ooze up to fill the gap.
These materials will slowly cool to
produce nee ocean floor. If the
divergent boundary is between
continental plates; the effects are rift
valley formation which will soon
develop into linear sea; shallow
earthquake activities; and numerous
normal faults. Along these boundaries,
earthquakes are common and magma
(molten rock) rises from the Earth's
mantle to the surface, solidifying to
create new oceanic crust. The Mid-
Atlantic Ridge is an example of
divergent plate boundaries.

3. When did this type of plate boundary most - A divergent plate boundary occurs
likely to occur? when two tectonic plates move away
from each other.

That’s all correct!

G. Elaboration
Let’s elaborate your answers.
Plate Boundary - is a three-dimensional surface or
zone across which there is a significant change in the
velocity (speed or direction) of motion of one
lithospheric plate relative to the adjacent lithospheric
plate.
- At convergent plate boundaries,
oceanic crust is often forced down into
the mantle where it begins to melt.
Magma rises into and through the
other plate, solidifying into granite, the
rock that makes up the continents.
Thus, at convergent boundaries,
continental crust is created and oceanic
crust is destroyed. A chain of volcanoes
often forms parallel to convergent
plate boundaries and powerful
earthquakes are common along these
boundaries.
- When two plates come together, it is
known as a convergent boundary. The
impact of the colliding plates can cause
the edges of one or both plates to
buckle up into a mountain ranges or
one of the plates may bend down into
a deep seafloor trench.
- Ma’am! It is Transform Plate Boundary.
- Earthquakes are common along these faults.
In contrast to convergent and divergent
boundaries, crust is cracked and broken at
transform margins, but is not created or
destroyed. Most transform boundaries
are associated with the spreading
centers at mid-ocean ridges.
- A transform boundary occurs when two
tectonic plates move past one another.
They occur near these divergent
boundaries because the spreading rate
changes along a ridge
There are three types of plate tectonic boundaries: - Ma’am! Divergent boundaries --
divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries where new crust is generated as
the plates pull away from each
What are the differences between the three types of
other.
plate boundaries?
- Convergent boundaries -- where
crust is destroyed as one plate
dives under another.
- Transform boundaries -- where
crust is neither produced nor
destroyed as the plates slide
horizontally past each other.

Precisely!

Divergent Plate Boundary occur along spreading

centers where plates are moving apart and new crust
is created by magma pushing up from the mantle.

Convergent Plate Boundary where plates move

towards each other. One plate either sinks beneath the
other along a subduction zone or plates collide
because neither can be sub ducted.

Transform Plate Boundary where plates move

horizontally past each other.
Based on the three types of plate boundaries, a global
network of approximately twelve major plates of
irregular shape and size cover the Earth's crust. Where
one type of plate boundary is terminated it is
transformed into a boundary of a different type. - Yes Ma’am!
So you already know the differences of the three types
of plate boundaries. Now, do you agree that the
movements between these plate boundaries leads to
formation of earthquakes?

Earthquakes are seismic events that occur when there

is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust,
resulting in shaking and vibrations. These seismic
events are closely related to the movement along
faults, which are fractures or cracks in the Earth's
crust.
Why do you think that movement along faults
generate earthquakes? Can you explain how
movement along faults generate earthquakes?
- (Answers may vary)
- Ma’am! As the plates continue to separate,
the stress along the normal faults
increases. Eventually, the stress
becomes too great, and the rocks
rupture, causing an earthquake.

Very Good!
The movement along faults generates earthquakes
through the process of elastic rebound. The type of
fault and the characteristics of the earthquake depend
on the specific plate boundary: normal faults at
divergent boundaries, megathrust faults at convergent
boundaries, and transform faults at transform
boundaries.
