4. MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY
•Describe and relate the
distribution of active volcanoes,
earthquake epicenters, and major
mountain belts to Plate Tectonic
Theory

and blue dots represent earthquake epicenters)

19. GUIDE QUESTIONS:
• 1. The world’s earthquakes are not randomly distributed over the
Earth’s surface. They tend to be concentrated in narrow zones.
• 2. Some are located near the edges of the continents, some are in
midcontinent’s, while others are in oceans.
• 3. Answers may vary. Some of the possible answers are large part of
the Pacific Ocean, northernmost Asia, majority of Europe, eastern
portion of North and South America and western Africa.
• 4. It is important to identify areas which are prone to earthquakes so
that necessary precautions could be done if ever you’re living in
those places.
20. • 5. Volcanoes are not randomly distributed. Majority
of them are found along the edges of some
continents.
• 6. Majority are found along the edges of some
continents, particularly in the western coast of
North and South America, East, and Southeast Asia.
• 7. Answers may vary
• 8. Earthquake epicenters and volcanoes are both
situated at the same locations
21. • 9. Mountain ranges are found in places where
volcanoes and/or earthquake epicenters are also
located.
• 10. Geologic activities such as seismicity (occurrence
of earthquake),
• 11. volcanism and mountain formation are the basis of
scientists in
•12. dividing Earth’s lithosphere.
24. •outer part of Earth, consisting of the
crust and the upper mantle
•The term lithosphere is derived from
Greek and means “rock layer.”

27. Continental Drift: 750 years ago to present
Implications of Plate Tectonics
While ocean basins are created and destroyed continents are too light
to be subducted, so simply break apart and collide
28. •Convection (plates move in response to convection in mantle) ?
•Ridge push (plates pushed apart at divergent boundaries due to downward
sliding of plates from top of mid-ocean ridge) ?
•Slab pull (oceanic plates dragged down at convergent boundaries due to
increasing density as they cool) ?
•Or…combination of these ?
What Drives Plate Movement ?
30. EARTH QUAKES
•Earthquake is defined as the shaking
and trembling of the Earth’s crust
caused by a sudden release of energy.
It occurs when rocks along a certain
fault line suddenly move.
