PLATE BOUNDARIES

SCIENCE 10 MODULE 2- LESSON 1

 OBJECTIVES

1.Describe the different types of plate boundaries( S10-

j-36.2)

2. Identify the places/plates that lie on the different

types of boundaries.
 A FACT OR A BLUFF!

DIRECTION: Write FACT if the statement

is True and Write BLUFF if the statement
is not true.
Lithosphere is made up of
crust and the upper mantle.

FACT
 The Philippine plate is found
between Eurasian plate and North
American plate.

BLUFF- Eurasian and Pacific plates

GEOLOGICAL EVENTS RESULTS
FROM THE MOVEMENTS OF
EARTH’S PLATES.

FACT
Countries included in the ring of fire
experience large number of
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

FACT
Canada is one of the counties
included in the ring of fire.

FACT
SUBDUCTION

The downward movement of the edge of a

plate of the earth's crust into the mantle
beneath another plate.
TRENCH
A depression in the
seafloor produced by
subduction process.
FAULT

A fault line is a fracture along

which the crust has moved.
HOT SPOT
A concentration of
heat in the mantle
capable of creating a
magma.
 PLATE TECTONICS

A theory which suggests that Earth’s

crust is made up of plates that interact in
various ways, thus producing
earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes and
other geological features.
 THE CRUST
- Refers to the outer part of the Earth.
CONTINENTAL CRUST
 Refers to the thick part of the Earth’s
crust.
Less dense

OCEANIC CRUST
Refers to the thin part of the Earth’s
crust.
denser
