Mode (ADM) Module on Movements of Plates and Formation of Folds and Faults!
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration
their needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

help you master the Nature of Earth and Life Science. The scope of this module
permits can be used in different learning situations. The language used recognizes
the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the

Lesson Movement of Plates and
1 Formation of Folds and
Faults
This module contains topics about plate movement leading to the formation
of folds and faults. Students must explain how the movement of plates leads to the
formation of folds and faults by doing different activities included in this module.
Likewise, a discussion on the concept about the Plate’splate movement is available
for the students’ reference in doing each activity incorporated in the procedure.
What’s In
Directions. Cross out the words in the first box which are not associated with
plate tectonics. Then, put the remaining words and write your understanding about
these words on the below the box.box that follows.

B. Directions. Read and analyze the diagram below which will provide you

Transform
Plate
Boundary
It is also called as strike slip fault boundary, the plates slide past each Formatted: Font: Bold
other horizontally. This is a type of boundary that cuts through California,
the well-known San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Ffault Zzone, which is
about 1300 km long and is tens of kilometer wide, slice through two thirds
of the length of California. Along with it, the Pacific Plate has been moving
for 10 million years, at an average rate of about 5cm/yr (Pavico and Faraon,
2007, 193).
Convergent
Plate
Boundary
The heavier oceanic crust sinks below the lighter continental crust. It
happens along convergent boundaries where plates are moving toward each
other and sometimes one plate sinks under another (subduction). Marianas
Trench marks where the fast- moving Pacific Plate converges against the
slower moving Philippine Plate. This boundary is often where sits of major
volcanoes such as Mount Fuji in Japan can be located. In a collision of two
pieces of oceanic crust, the result is a chain of volcanic islands, of which
Indonesia is a prime example. Where oceanic crust collides with a plate
carrying continent, the result is a chain of volcanoes on the continent such
as the Cascade of volcanic chain in Pacific Northwest of the US and the
Andes Mountains of South America. When two continental crusts collide,
the result is a range of mountains such as the Himalayan Mountain yr
(Pavico and Faraon, 2007, 193-194).

Divergent
Plate
Boundary
Divergent Plate Boundaries are boundaries where the earth’s tectonic plates
are moving apart. For most part, these boundaries are located on the ocean
floors, where they form a continuous chain of volcanic mountains and rift
called mid-ocean ridges that extend throughout the earth’s oceans. Mid-
Atlantic Ridge is a good example which runs down the middle of the Atlantic
Ocean. As the plates move apart, magma wells up to fill the space between
them, and this is why divergent plate boundaries are the sites of volcanic
activity. It is also a set where the earth’s crust is growing (Pavico and
Faraon, 2007, 194).

What I Have Learned
Directions. From the word pool given below, identify the term being described in
the following statements.
__________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.
__________2. This plate’s movement creates mountain and volcanic arc. Marianas
Trench is also created by this movement.
__________3. The movement of this plate is towards the opposite direction or moving
away from each other.
__________4. It is a process of rising up hot, dense liquid materials and creates new
seafloor.
__________5. This is a theory that supports that supports continental drift theory
and seafloor spreading.
