G10 plate tectonics
- 1. Prepared By: JOHNEL VILLANUEVA ESPONILLA Science Instructor G10
- 2. Learning Competency Describe and relate the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts to Plate Tectonic Theory Content standard The relationship among the locations of volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and mountain ranges. Performance standard 1. Demonstrate ways to ensure disaster preparedness during earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. 2. Suggest ways by which he/she can contribute to government efforts in reducing damage due to earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.
- 4. PLATE TECTONICS It is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3.3 and 3.5 billion years ago.
- 5. PLATE TECTONICS Alfred Wegener was born in Berlin in 1880, where his father was a minister who ran an orphanage. From an early age he took an interest in Greenland, and always walked, skated, and hiked as though training for an expedition. He studied in Germany and Austria, receiving his PhD in astronomy.

- 11. 1. Hot mantle from the two adjacent cells rises at the ridge axis, creating new ocean crust. 2. The top limb of the convection cell moves horizontally away from the ridge crest, as does the new seafloor. 4. The material sinks to the core and moves horizontally. 3. The outer limbs of the convection cells plunge down into the deeper mantle, dragging oceanic crust as well. This takes place at the deep-sea trenches. 5. The material heats up and reaches the zone where it rises again.

- 13. WHAT IS A PLATE BOUNDARIES? are the edges where two plates meet. Most geologic activities, including volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building, take place at plate boundaries.
- 14. TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARIES? 1. CONVERGENT BOUNDARY 2. DIVERGENT BOUNDARY 3. TRANSFORM BOUNDARY
- 15. TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARIES? 1. CONVERGENT BOUNDARY The two plates move towards each other

- 17. TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARIES? 1. CONVERGENT BOUNDARY
- 18. TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARIES? 2. DIVERGENT BOUNDARY The two plates move away each other
- 19. TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARIES? 3. TRANSFORM BOUNDARY The two plates move slip past each other
Editor's Notes
- Alfred Wegener proposed that the continents were not stationary, but actually moving or drifting away from one another. His primary sources of evidence included: (UP) Plate tectonic theory became an accepted ideas in the 1970s due to magnetic shifts, convection currents, and sea floor spreading
- The top limb of the convection cell moves horizontally away from the ridge crest, as does the new seafloor. The outer limbs of the convection cells plunge down into the deeper mantle, dragging oceanic crust as well. This takes place at the deep-sea trenches. The material sinks to the core and moves horizontally. The material heats up and reaches the zone where it rises again.
