This document contains learning materials for a lesson on plate tectonics, including content standards, performance standards, and subskills. It provides guidance cards, activity cards, and assessment cards to guide learners through classifying plate boundaries, identifying the processes that occur along them, designing emergency kits, and understanding the importance of preparedness. The cards cover topics like plate tectonics theory, the three main types of plate boundaries (divergent, convergent, transform), and real-world examples. The goal is for learners to demonstrate understanding of the relationship between volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain ranges, and to suggest ways to contribute to disaster risk reduction.

3. 
 According to the plate tectonics
model, the entire lithosphere of
the earth is broken into
numerous segments called
plates.
 Each plate is slowly but continuously
moving.
 As a result of the motion of the plates
the types of plates boundaries were
formed: Divergent, Convergent and
transformed fault boundaries.
Now I understand what
the lesson is all about
Still I do not understand
what the lesson is all about
For this lesson, I want to
study it…….

4. This activity aims to classify the different plate boundaries
The main objective of this activity is to identify the processes that occur
along convergent plate boundaries
Your task here is to identify the processes that occur along divergent plate
boundaries.
In this activity you will identify the processes that occur along transform fault
plate boundaries.
Activity 3: Let’s Pack Up!
With this activity you will design your own survival kit to be used in times of
disaster
Activity 4: Ready to Move
In this activity you will infer the importance of being prepared at all times
Are you excited to
start our journey
together?

5. vJake and Izzy are on the way to the first box of golden coins but they need
to get the keys by answering the questions in each station. Are you ready?
What plate
boundaries
are moving
away from
each other?

What plates
move past each
other
horizontally?
What plates collide
with each other?

Oh no!! Izzy and Jake get lost in their
journey. They are now in different
places how can they meet up?
Convergent boundaries are
where one plate subducts
under crust that is less
dense to be recycled back
into the asthenosphere.
Three types of convergent
plate boundaries
 Ocean to Ocean
 Ocean to Continental
 Continental to
Continental
I am riding in one oceanic
crust and Izzy too. What
will happen if these two
crusts will collide?
I think there will be
a lot of changes
that may occur.
Oh no! I feel as
if there is
someone
shaking me. I
am scared the
crust will go
down and it
will become
deeper.
Jake we
have to
watch out
also because
big , stronger
harbor
waves for
sure will take
place. I am
afraid we will
not meet up.
You are right Izzy! But
for sure there will be
land formation that
will rise up in the
subduction zone and
there is a big chance
to for us to meet up.So let us hope for the best
Jake see you soon!
Hey Jake! We are apart again I
am now in an oceanic crust and
you are in a continental crust. Yes Izzy and we are about to clash
again and I still feel the same,
there is someone shaking me.
According to my study Jake,
when we clash this time this
plate I’m riding on will goes
down and it will become so
deep because this is denser
than the plate the continental
plate you’re riding in.
But we will not
forget Izzy, that
there will be land
formation that will
rise up in the
subduction zone
and there is a big
chance to for us to
meet up again.
Now we meet up…but still no coins we still need
to pass our next journey…are you ready?

Hey Jake! What do you think will
happen this time? We are both
riding in a continental plate.
It will be easy for us to
meet up now Izzy,
because no one will go
down.
But I still feel the same as
if, there someone shaking
me.
Hmmm………….. Izzy
according to my
research in this case
now we will goes up
together and new land
formations will form.

Now we meet up…but still no coins we still need to pass our next
journey. Are you ready?
Identify whether the following processes occur in a convergent plate boundaries.
Just mark

8. Jake and Izzy’s previous experiences with you were great.
Right after you earned the second box of golden coins you
found something in the tree.
Oh! That is an easy
task right?
Hey Izzy! I found some
notes in the tree. Let me
read: Dear Jake and Izzy,
are you ready for the next
challenge? Jake jump in to
the other side of the rift
valley while Izzy need to
stay. Note: coins waiting!
Hmmm… I guess it’s not
easy Izzy as far as I know
the spreading rate of
ridges such as these may
vary from 2 to 20 cm. per
year so it means there is a
possibility that we will be
separated forever.
Does it mean different
geologic processes
may occur?
So what do you think, we will
accept the challenge?
Ok! I think we need to
enjoy this journey!
Good luck to us Jake!
Izzzzyyyy… I found something
here let me read to you the
content! Thank you Jake for
jumping to this side, the real
challenge is you need to
answer all the questions
written here and you will not
be forever separated with
Izzy! Good luck in answering
the questions
Oh! That’s great!
Q1. What will be form when two plates move
away from each other (diverge)?

A transform boundary
is a fault zone where two
plates slide past each
other horizontally. Most
transform faults are
found in the ocean where
they offset spreading
ridges creating a zigzag
pattern between the
plates.
Izzy and Jake is on their way to the library to help you understand the
concept of transform fault boundary
Page 8
http://arts.umich.edu
According to them we can see many
diagrams here that will help us to
understand more about transform
fault.
We are here Jake…I am sure that we
can answer all our questions now.
At the simulation area…
Izzy come here and take a
look with this picture?
I feel as if there is someone shaking me and I guess the big
arrow here indicates the movement of the plate we are
riding on. You are going up while I am going down
So it means in a
transform fault there is no
collision or subduction?
You are exactly
correct Jake!
How do
you feel
Izzy?
Yes! San Andreas Fault is
an example of a cut along
a continental crust. A real
world example as the
picture stated
What about this big
blocks here Jake what
are these?
I don’t know also, I think our next
adventure will start here to earn
more coins. What do you think?
More coins are coming get
ready….

10. When they are about to go out something is
written in the door..
http://clipart-library.com
Jake look at the door, a note is posted and I
guess that is for both of us. Please read the
letter.
Oh !I love to have more coins so
can we proceed now Jake?
Ok Izzy let us go!
Read and analyze each of the questions below and provide an answer in the blank if it is needed but
in case there are choices just encircle the letter that correspond to the correct answer.

Izzy! Do you know what to prepare in case of emergency. ?
Ha..!?? I don’t know about it do we need to prepare something?
I guess you are right Jake!
Yes! We need to prepare our own survival kit so that when there
is an emergency we are always ready.
So we will start packing up now!
PageGet ready for the next
adventure…..
