- 8. LOOKING BACK Directions: Number the following phrases according to the correct sequence to reveal the sentence that gives an idea on earthquake epicenter. Write your answer on the answer sheet.
- 10. Plate Tectonic Theory 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics#/media/File:Plates_tect2_en.
- 12. Basic Plate Tectonic Concepts ►Earth’s crust and the uppermost layer of the mantle are composed of rigid units called plates. ►The movement of these plates is small, in the order of millimeters per year. ►Large-scale geological activities occur on or near plate boundaries. ►Areas farther from plate boundaries are less prone to earthquakes.
- 13. Basic Plate Tectonic Concepts ►The Philippine Sea plate, which is oceanic, moves northwestward, ranging from as fast as 102 mm/year down around 54 mm/year. ►Most of the Philippine islands don’t lie on top of the Philippine Sea plate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_Sea_Plate#/media/File:PhilippinePlate.p
- 14. Major Key Concepts ►The volcanoes, earthquake’s epicenter, and major mountain belts are distributed in close proximity of the borders of the tectonic plates. Once tectonic plates moved in any possible motion, it could create changes leading to geologic features and
- 15. Major Key Concepts ►Most of the active volcanoes nowadays are found in the so called “Pacific Ring of Fire” which is practically the border of the Pacific Tectonic Plate.
- 16. Pacific Ring of Fire • Argentina • Belize • Bolivia • Brazil • Brunei • Canada • Colombia • Chile • Costa Rica • Ecuador • East Timor • El Salvador • Micronesia • Fiji • Guatemala • Honduras • Indonesia • Japan • Kiribati • Malaysia • Mexico • New Zealand • Nicaragua • Palau • Papua New Guinea • Panama • Peru • Philippines • Russia • Samoa • Singapore • Solomon Islands • Tonga • Tuvalu • United States https://www.quora.com/What-countries-are-in-the-Pacific-Ring- of-Fire
- 17. Major Key Concepts ►The earthquake epicenters are not found only in a specific place, but they are found everywhere where there's a border between two or more tectonic plates. It doesn't matter if they collide, move away from each other, or subduct, the earthquakes will be there.
- 18. Major Key Concepts ►The major mountain belts are found in places where tectonic plates of the same density collide, so instead some of them go and be subducted, they push against each other and lift the area up.
- 19. ACTIVITY 1 - Know your Boundaries Objective: Describe the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters and major mountain belts and infer the relationship of tectonic plates, earthquake epicenters and active volcanoes.
- 20. ACTIVITY 1 - Know your Boundaries Directions: Study the map and answer the questions given below. Write your answer on the answer sheet.
- 22. ACTIVITY 1 - Know your Boundaries Critical Thinking Questions: (1) How are earthquakes distributed as shown on the map? Earthquakes are randomly distributed over the Earth’s surface. Earthquakes are not randomly distributed over the Earth’s surface.
- 23. (1) How are earthquakes distributed as shown on the map? Earthquakes are not randomly distributed over the Earth’s surface.
- 24. Critical Thinking Questions: (2) Where are the earthquakes located on the map? Some are located near the edges of the continents. Some are in mid-continents while others are in oceans.
- 25. (2) Where are the earthquakes located on the map? Some are located near the edges of the continents. Some are in mid- continents while others are in oceans.
- 26. Critical Thinking Questions: (3) How are volcanoes distributed on the map? Volcanoes are randomly distributed. Volcanoes are not randomly distributed.
- 27. (3) How are volcanoes distributed on the map? Volcanoes are not randomly distributed.
- 28. Critical Thinking Questions: (4) Where are the volcanoes located on the map? Majority of the volcanoes are found along the edges of some continents. Most of the volcanoes are located in western coast of North and South America, East and Southeast Asia.
- 29. (4) Where are the volcanoes located on the map? Majority of the volcanoes are found along the edges of some continents. Most of the volcanoes are located in western coast of North and South America, East and Southeast Asia.
- 30. Critical Thinking Questions: (5) Describe how the active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters and mountain belts are being distributed in the Earth’s lithosphere. They are distributed in close proximity of the borders of the tectonic plates. They are distributed far apart from the borders of the tectonic plates.
- 31. (5) Describe how the active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters and mountain belts are being distributed in the Earth’s lithosphere. They are distributed in close proximity of the borders of the tectonic plates.
- 32. POST TEST Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct; FALSE if it is not. Write the answer on your answer sheet.
- 33. POST TEST ___________1) The distribution of the volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts are distributed in close along the borders of the tectonic plates. T
- 34. POST TEST ___________2) The theory of plate tectonics states that since from the very start, plates are already separated and has volcanoes and mountain ranges on it even without plate motion. F
