    1) The document is an activity sheet from Pangangan National High School that has students label maps of earthquake epicenters, volcanoes, and mountain ranges to understand plate tectonics. 2) Students are asked to trace earthquake clusters and volcano locations on plastic sheets and overlay them to see their relationship before reviewing a map of plate boundaries. 3) By mapping where earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains are concentrated, students can determine that the scientific basis for dividing the lithosphere into plates is that these phenomena occur in patterns along plate boundaries.

    ACTIVITY SHEET NO. 2

    Score:
    Year and Section:
    Date:
    Subject: SCIENCE
    Type of Activity:
    Activity/Exercises
    Activity Title:
    Lets Mark the Boundaries
    Learning Target:
    Describe the distribution of active volcanoes,
    earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts.
    Determine the scientific basis for dividing the lithospheric
    plates.
    References: Title:
    Science 10 Learners Materials
    Page Numbers:
    11 14
    Materials:
    Figure 5: Map of earthquake distribution
    Figure 6: Map of active volcanoes of the world
    Figure 7: Mountain ranges of the world
    2 pieces plastic sheet used for book cover, same size as a book page
    marking pens (two different colors)

    Figure 5. Map of earthquake distribution (Red, green, and blue dots represent earthquake
    epicenters)
    Procedure: 1. Study Figure 5 showing the earthquake distribution around the world. Trace the
    approximate locations of several earthquake clusters using a marking pen on one of the plastic
    sheets.

    Figure 6. Map of active volcanoes (Red areas represent presence of volcanoes)


    2. Study the map of active volcanoes in Figure 6.
    3. On the second plastic sheet, sketch the approximate locations of several volcanoes using a
    marking pen.
    4. Place the earthquake plastic sheet over the volcano plastic sheet.

    Figure 7. Mountain ranges of the world


    5. Study Figure 7, the orange portions indicate mountain ranges of the world.
    6. Now that you have seen the location of volcanoes, mountain ranges, and majority of earthquake
    epicenters, study Figure 2 on page 7, Map of Plate boundaries once more.
    The places on Earth where most of the earthquakes originated or some mountains and volcanoes
    were formed mark the boundaries of each lithospheric plate. As mentioned earlier, each plate is slowly
    moving relative to each other, causing geologic events to happen along their boundaries.

    Exercises:
    Q1. How are earthquakes distributed on the map?
    Q2. Where are they located?
    Q3. Where are there no earthquakes?
    Q4. Why is it important for us to identify areas which are prone to
    earthquakes?
    Q5. How are volcanoes distributed?
    Q6. Where are they located?
    Q7. Based on the map, mention a country that is unlikely to experience
    a volcanic eruption.
    Q8. Compare the location of majority of earthquake epicenters with
    the location of volcanoes around the world.
    Q9. How will you relate the distribution of mountain ranges with the
    distribution of earthquake epicenters and volcanoes?
    Q10. What do you think is the basis of scientists in dividing Earths
    lithosphere into several plates?
