LEARNING CONCEPTS
For the past weeks, we have been closely analyzing the facts of the Plate Tectonics Theory. It
states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the
asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come
together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet. But come to think of it. If these
zones interact which each other, what would be the effect underneath? Or is there something
happening deep down below which causes these boundaries to force itself to crash with other
boundaries? Let’s find out.
GETTING STARTED
Look at the comic strip below and answer the questions below.

What is now the connection between understanding the layers of the Earth’s interior and the processes occurring along plate boundaries?
Let’s find out.
Have you heard of the Plate Tectonic Story? After learning about the layers of the Earth’s interior, you may be validating your thoughts about the idea
that heat from magma through convection currents within the mantle cause the plates to move, spread and be deformed to form new geological structures.
In the last module, you were able to identify the geologic features formed by the convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries. It’s now time to
learn what happens when these zones interact with each other.
LET’S THINK BIG.
Most of the Earth’s dramatic events take place in the margins of plate boundaries that collide. If plates are converging to form
subduction zones whether it’s a continental - continental plate or continental-oceanic plate collision, there must be somewhere else where plates are
diverging or sliding past each other. You can hardly imagine how destructive or productive it could be because, in these zones, new materials may arise
or may even be destroyed. In the next activity, you will translate what have learned by relating the formation of some of the most breathtaking places in
the world with the processes that occur along plate boundaries.
