L – 1 Movements of plates and formation of folds and faults


What’s in
Words Your Own Understanding
Fault
A break on the crust

Plates
Where crust Is standing

Ridge
The edges of a mountain or volcanoes

Convergent
is coming nearer or moving toward an unequivocal cutoff

Volcanic arc
is a chain of volcanoes framed over a subducting plate position
is a circular segment as seen from a higher place?

Mesosaurus
is a terminated sort of reptile.it is an individual from the family
mosasaurs?

Fold
an undulation or delicate bend of the ground a slight slope or
honor.

What’s New

Read and analyze the excerpt. Identify the three indicated types of plate movement. Illustrate it on
the box provided below (10 points).

TYPE OF PLATE BOUNDARIES

Illustration 1.

ANSWER:

CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARIES A joined plate limit is an area where two structural plates are
pushing toward one another, regularly making one plate slide beneath the other (in an interaction
known as subduction). The impact of structural plates can bring about seismic tremors, volcanoes, the
arrangement of mountains, and other geographical occasions.

Illustration 2.

ANSWER:

TRANSFORM FAULT BOUNDARIES Change Plate Boundaries are areas where two plates slide past each
other. The crack zone that frames a change plate limit is known as a change shortcoming. Most change
shortcomings are found in the sea bowl and associate counterbalances in the mid-sea edges. A more
modest number associate mid-sea edges and subduction zones.

Illustration 3.

ANSWER:

DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARIES Dissimilar plate limits are areas where plates are getting away from
each other. This happens above rising convection flows. The rising current pushes up on the lower part
of the lithosphere, lifting it and streaming horizontally underneath it. This parallel stream causes the
plate material above to be hauled along toward stream. At the peak of the inspire, the overlying plate is
extended slender, splits and pulls up.

5. Convergent
6. Transform
7. Fold
8. Mountain
9. Ridge
10. Valley

Activity B:

Faults, folding, ridges, mountains, valleys and volcanic arc are formed when the plates move because

Answer:

At the point when plates impact or go through subduction (that is – ride one over another), the
plates will more often than not clasp and overlap, framing mountains. A large portion of the major
mainland mountain ranges are related with pushing and collapsing or orogenesis.

Activity C: plate boundaries

CONVERGENT DIVERGENT TRANSFORM


Most of it are found in
the ocean basin and
connect offsets in the
mid ocean ridges

Often sites of the major When it happens, the


volcanoes new crust is forming
from magma that rises
to the earth surface
between the two plates
Best example of this
two plates are moving Plates move apart plate is San Andreas
toward each other fault

When it occurs Creating a zone of Also known as strike


between two oceanic tension slip or sliding
plates, one of those boundaries
plates will subduct
beneath the other.

Activity D: Read Ask! Respond

Answer

1. Absolute motion
2. Triple junction
3. Smaller
4. North and south America move away from Europe and Africa
5. Taller

What I Have Learned

From the word pool given below, identify the term being described in the following

statements.

TRANSFORM FAULT 1. This phenomenon is created during transformation of plate’s movement, and it is
a kinematic phenomenon caused by the relative density of oceanic lithosphere and relative weakness of
asthenosphere.

CONVERGENT 2. This plate’s movement creates mountain and volcanic arc. Marianas Trench is also
created by this movement.

DIVERGENT 3. The movement of this plate is towards the opposite direction or moving away from each
other.
SEAFLOOR SPREADING 4. It is a process of rising up hot, dense liquid materials and creates new seafloor.

PLATE TECTONICS 5. This is a theory that supports continental drift theory and seafloor spreading.

What can I do?

Supply the needed information by writing it on the space provided.

A. “Everything happens for a reason.” How will I relate the given quotation to the? lesson?

Answer:

The statement everything occurs for an explanation can be identified with the example Plate
Boundaries on the grounds that nobody can foresee when the plate limits will move or when a seismic
tremor will happen. There is consistently a justification behind this to happen.

The universe is continually changing and advancing. What is today is never as old as will be tomorrow.
As indicated by one translation, each impact has a reason. The reason is the explanation — the
clarification for why that impact happened. In this way, indeed, everything happens which is as it should
be.

B. In your area, what natural scenery do you think is a result of colliding plates?

Answer:

The impact clasps the edge of one or the two plates, making a mountain range or subducting
one of the plates under the other, making a profound ocean bottom channel. At focalized limits,
mainland outside layer is made and maritime hull is annihilated as it subducts, dissolves, and becomes
magma.

C. How will you justify that plate tectonics or movement of plate boundaries is also beneficial to us?
(Cite your reference.)
Answer:

the plate or development of plate limits can likewise help human on the grounds that a large
number of the earth’s normal assets of energy, minerals and soil are concentrated close past or present
plate boundaries. The use of these promptly accessible assets has supported the human civilization,
both now and previously.
