1. Plate movement, a fundamental geologic process,
occurs due to the continuous motion of Earth's
lithospheric plates, which float on the semi-fluid
asthenosphere beneath them. This movement is the
driving force behind the ever-changing face of our
planet, responsible for the creation and evolution of
continents, the formation of mountain ranges, and
the occurrence of seismic activity along plate
boundaries. Whether plates collide, pull apart, or
slide past each other, their interactions shape
Earth's surface, influencing geological features,
climate patterns, and even the distribution of life on
our dynamic planet.

DRIVING and RESISTING FORCE
7. DRIVING FORCES
-either push tectonic plates toward
each other or pull them apart while
resisting force act against the
driving force
RESISTING FORCE- acts against
the driving force
8. The main driving force behind plate movement is MANTLE
CONVECTION
9. In Physics Convection is a HEAT
TRANSFER..
an energy transfer
from an area of
higher energy to
one of lower
energy.
10. Heat from the
Earth's interior
rises toward the
mantle, increasing
its kinetic energy
and causing it to
expand and spread
out the plate.
11. Kinetic is a type of energy which
means energy in motion, and the other
type is potential which means energy
at rest
12. The upward force of mantle
convection causes the
newly created crust to push
the adjacent plates away
In English when we say
adjacent, it means being in
close proximity.
In Geometry-angles having
a common side and a
common vertex.
22. In 2 minutes construct one or two
sentences in any sheet of paper about
why do we need to study plate
movement? After two minutes I will
be choosing lucky two learners to
share their insight or thoughts.
23. It helps us understand the
dynamic nature of our
planet and the processes
that have formed and
continue to modify its
features.
24. By studying plate movement, scientists
can identify areas where tectonic plates
interact and are more likely to generate
seismic activity. This information is vital
for earthquake prediction and mitigation
efforts, which can save lives and reduce
property damage.
27. Many valuable natural resources,
such as minerals, oil, and
natural gas, are found in regions
associated with plate boundaries
and their movements. Studying
plate tectonics helps locate and
access these resources.

29. 1. Subduction zones generate a gravitational
force known as “_______pull," which contributes
significantly to the movement of tectonic plates.
2. At mid-ocean ridges, the upward force of mantle
convection causes the phenomenon known as
"_______ push.”
3. Mantle convection is primarily driven by heat from
the Earth's interior, causing material in the semi-
fluid _______ to rise and create convection currents.
30. 4. The heat-driven rising and sinking of material
in the asthenosphere create convection currents
that set the lithospheric plates in _______.
5. Ridge push is the force that pushes plates away
from mid-ocean ridges as newly formed oceanic crust
exerts an upward _______.
Editor's Notes
This time let us have a collaborative activity
Let us reveal the word behind the series of numbers.
Direction: I will be giving you series of Mathematics equation;(Collaborative Work)
1. Both of you should work in solving the assigned expression or equation.
2. Decode your answer to reveal the word by replacing the numbers by the letter corresponding to your answer.
HANDA NA BA?all right lets do it!

HANDA NA BA?all right lets do it!Here are the letters and their corresponding numbers..Now I will be distributing you the sheet of paper where the problems written,alright start you only have 1 minute to solve it.
Now, let us find out the connection of the word in todays’ lesson.
What do you think is the reason why there are presence of break or cracks in the surface?
What is plate movement?
Very good! How huge crustal plates could possibly move are influenced by two types of forces. What do you think are those forces? (give the learners a clue based from activity under explore) 23+9+18+5+18+13+20 and 9+22+8+18+8+7+18+13+20
What is driving forces? resisting force?
In heat transfer how is the movement of energy?
Based from the illustration, how will you describe Mantle convection?
Show to the class below illustration,
how will you describe Ridge push?
What pushes the plate down the ridge?
Are you guys familiar with gravity?
Show to the class below illustration,
how will you describe Ridge push?
Another reason of plate movement (show the class)
Based from the illustration, how is slab pull?
How is slab suction? collide- to strike one another w/forceful impact, come into violent contact, crash
For resisting forces, what do we call the force that opposes motion?FRICTION
Under this we have the SLAB RESISTANCE, how is slab resistance?( show the class illustration.)
Another force that resists the movement of lithospheric plate is the DRAG force.
From the illustration DRAG FORCE resists or opposes the movement of the plates
Here are some of the reason why we need to study plate movement.
