IV. PROCEDURES
A. Preparatory Activities Ask learner’s output or responses based on the assignment given the previous
day.
1. What is Plate Tectonics?
(Ans. The plates move very slowly but constantly, and this movement is
called tectonics; thus the theory of moving lithospheric plates is called plate
tectonics.)
2. What is lithosphere?
(Ans. The rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper
mantle.)
3. What are the two layers of the lithosphere?
(Ans. Crust and Upper Mantle)
4. Define the two kinds of crust.
(Ans. There are two kinds of crust: the thicker but less dense continental
crust and the oceanic crust which is relatively thinner but denser than

 continental crust)
B. Motivation https://geologyportfoliokxz.weebly.com/layers-of-earth.html
LM Figure 1, p 6

Present to the class the picture of the two kinds of crust.

Let the students describe what can they say about the
picture.
https://geology.com/plate-tectonics.shtml
LM Figure 2, p 7

Present to the class the picture of Map of Plate

Boundaries. Let the students describe how the plates are
divided into such manner?
(Ans. Plate boundaries are divided into such manner in terms of their
boundaries.)
C. Activity Let the students watch the video found on this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et0DcFhX8Ig&t=18s
D. Analysis What do you call the rigid outer part of the earth? What are its layers?
(Ans. Lithosphere, Upper Mantle)
Do you believe that these plates are moving?
(Ans. Yes)
Based on the video presented, what is tectonic?
(Ans. Tectonic refers to the movement of plates)
How will you compare continental crust and oceanic crust?
(Possible Answers will be based on the learners perception but the teacher
should emphasize that the correct answers are found in the abstraction part.)
E. Abstraction Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into large slabs of
solid rock, called “plates,” that glide over Earth's mantle, the rocky inner layer
above Earth’s core. Earth’s solid outer layer, which includes the crust and the
uppermost mantle, is called the lithosphere.

The lithosphere is said to be in constant but slow motion. This movement of the
lithosphere is called tectonics.

Earth’s lithosphere consists of layers, the crust and the upper part of the mantle.
The discussion will focus on the outermost layer which is the crust.

The crust is made of a variety of solid rocks like sedimentary, metamorphic, and
igneous. It has an average density of 2.8 g/cm 3 and its thickness ranges from 5
to 50 km. The crust is thickest in a part where a relatively young mountain is

2
 present and thinnest along the ocean floor.

Oceanic crust
Outer layer of lithosphere that is found under oceans. It is about 6 km thick
composed solidly of different layers. The outer most layer is about 500 m thick
made out of lavas and basalt rocks. under is a layer of basalt sheeted dikes that
is about 1 km thick and acts as a plumbing system for molten rocks and magmas
to travel to the sea-floor.

Continental crust
Layer consisting solidly of granitic rocks and thicker (25km-70km) than the
oceanic crust. Its existence allowed life to form on land. Different parts collide
and separate to change the Earth's geographic form and that is a part of the
super-continent cycle.

F. Application Using the world map, the class will be divided into five groups. Provide a copy of
the template to each group found on attachment A. Also, provide a copy of world
map to each group for guidance.
G. Practical Applications The teacher will be asked to perform activity which can be seen on the link:

For teachers with no

or screen shot of
every question.
H. Generalization What are the different major plates of our planet?
(Ans.: Pacific Plate, North American Plate, Eurasian Plate, African Plate,
Antarctic Plate, Antarctic Plate, Indo-Australia Plate)

What do you call that rigid outer layer of the earth where the crust and mantle is
located?
(Ans.: Lithosphere)

What are its types?

(Ans.: P-Waves, S-Waves, Surface Waves)

How will you compare the movement of the waves that travels in the interior
layer of the earth?
(Possible Ans.: They differ in terms of velocity upon reaching the seismic
stations)
