    The module introduces plate tectonics theory and describes the three main types of plate boundaries. It begins with objectives and an opening statement to engage students. The text then explains that plates move due to convection currents in the Earth's mantle. It defines divergent boundaries, where plates move apart, convergent boundaries where plates collide, and transform boundaries where they slide past each other. Activities help students simulate and understand plate movement and boundary types. The module aims to explain how earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains relate to changes beneath the Earth's surface.

    TASK 1A: MOVEMENT OF TECTONIC PLATES

    Objective: Simulate the movement of tectonic plates


    Materials:
    Shallow rectangular metal pan
    4 big cans of sardines/any cans with the same sizes
    3 small wooden blocks (labeled 1, 2, 3)
    Marking pen
    Alcohol lamp
    Used cooking oil
    Procedure:
    1. Place the pan on top of the cans in a balancing position.
    2. Half fill the pan with used cooking oil.
    3. Ensure that the blocks float in oil such that they are approximately 1 cm apart.
    4. Place an alcohol lamp under the space between block 1 and block 2.
    5. Observe the movement of blocks when the oil is heated.

    Questions:
    1. What happened to the blocks as the oil under the space between block 1 and block 2 was heated?

    2. What happened to the distance between block 2 and block 3?

    3. What is represented by block 1? Block 2? Block 3?

    4. How can you compare your observations to the movement of Earth’s plates?

    PLATE TECTONICS AND PLATE BOUNDARIES

    By studying world maps, Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) found that the continents fit together, like jigsaw puzzle.
    When he put the maps of the continents side by side, he saw that they formed a single supercontinent, which he called
    Pangea.
    Wegener’s continental drift theory was ignored for many years, but in 1960, evidence for continental movement
    was revealed, leading to a new version of Wegener’s theory, the theory of plate tectonics.

    The theory of plate tectonics explains the formation, movement, and changes of the outer, rigid layers of Earth. It has
    been a well-tested concept, supported by much experimental evidence.

    How do the types of plate boundaries differ?


    Tectonic plates meet in a plate boundary. The leading edges of tectonic plates may be moving away, moving
    toward each other, or sliding past one another.

    Divergent Boundaries- a divergent boundary is the place


    between two plates that move apart. As these plates move, the gap
    between them is filled up by magma rising from the asthenosphere. The
    magma cools to form new lithospheric rock. As the plates continually
    diverge, the lithosphere is pulled away from the point of divergence.

    Convergent Boundaries- a convergent boundary lies between two


    tectonic plates moving toward each other. The leading edges of
    converging plates may be both oceanic plates, an oceanic plate and a
    continental plate, or both continental plates.

    Transform Boundaries- the third type of plate boundary is the transform


    boundary. It refers to the area where the plates slide horizontally past each
    other. Transform faults are located in an oceanic crust or in a continental crust.
    They lie parallel to the direction of plate movement. Examples of transform
    faults are the Philippine Fault System and West Valley Fault.
    ACTIVITY
    1. How do tectonic plates move?

    2. How do volcanic arcs and islands arc differ? How are they formed?

    3. What happens when two crusts collide? slide along each other?

    REFLECTION
    Why do volcanoes, mountains, and earthquakes form at plate boundaries?

    TRANSFER

    Now that you are able to understand more deeply the lesson, what are the differences of the types of plate
    boundaries?
