    The document provides an introduction to plate tectonics. It explains that plate tectonics describes how the Earth's surface is broken into plates that move over time. The Earth's outer layer is made up of these plates, called tectonic plates, which are constantly shifting. There are seven major plates that move via processes at their boundaries, where new crust is created and old crust is destroyed. The theory of plate tectonics states that the shifting of these plates over geological time causes phenomena like volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building.

    QUARTER 1,  WEEK 1


    INTRODUCTION

    Our country is blessed with so many land features such as mountains and volcanoes. This feature can be sources of different
    minerals or can be used for agricultural purposes. For example, we have the majestic and world renowned Mayon Volcano. Because
    of its activity, it produces fertile slopes and plains which are used by the locals to grow their crops. Also, found in the northeastern
    coast of Luzon, we have the Sierra Madre mountain range which is home to many endemic species of flora and fauna.
    Have you ever wondered why our country is endowed with these kind of geologic features? Well, if your answer is YES, then
    this module will help you find the answer to your question.
    In this module we will study thoroughly the framework that will enable us to understand how and why several features of the
    Earth continuously change. This theory is what we call “Plate Tectonics.” This describes the events within the Earth that give rise to
    mountain ranges, volcanoes, earthquakes and other features of the Earth’s surface.

    WHAT THE LEARNING OUTCOMES ARE


    At the end of this module you will be able to:
     Describe and relate the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts to Plate
    Tectonic Theory. (S10ES-la-j-36.1)

    LESSON # 1 TOPIC: Plate Tectonics

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:


    1. Describe and relate the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts to Plate
    Tectonic Theory by: (S10ES-la-j-36.1)
    1.1. Defining the tectonic plates: and
    1.2. Illustrating how these tectonic plates behave according to the theory of plate tectonics.

    MOTIVATION

    Direction: Complete the words below by writing the missing letters. Write the answer on the blank.

    LINKING STATEMENT

    From the words you complete above, you will know about the topic the plate tectonics in which the Earth's outermost
    layer or lithosphere is made up of the crust and upper mantle is broken into large rocky plates.

    CONCEPT NOTE

    Development of better technologies and techniques in geography and oceanograpahy led to the discovery of a
    theory more encompassing than the continental drift hypothesis the plate tectonics theory. The discovery gave scientist
    the idea that the Earth’s surface os not a static and intact landscape but an ever changing structure composed of several
    segments called tectonic plates. The theory suggest that these plates are constantly moving independently in a process of
    plate construction and destruction.
    The uppermost mantle and the overllying crust have a strong rigid layer called the lithosphere which is separated
    into several segmented plates. The lithospher in turn lies over a weaker region in
    the upper mantle, the asthenosphere. Given the extreme temperature and pressure
    in the asthenosphere, rocks in this region are near melting point and have the
    tendency to flow. As a result, the earths rigid shell is detached from the layers
    below allowing the plates to move independently.
    It was Alfred Wegener, an Austrian climatologist, who first noted the
    theory on the movement of the Earth’s land masses
    and is known today as the modern Plate Tectonic
    Theory (Oskin, 2017). This theory states that the
    Earth’s crust is composed of several broken plates
    that continuously move either away, past, or
    towards each other.
    7 major plates
     North American Plate
     South American Plate
     Pacific Plate
     African Plate
     Eurasian Plate
     Australian-Indian Plate
     Antarctic Plate
    2 types of Tectonic plates
    1. Oceanic Plates – the crust in the ocean basins that is characterized by a thin but dense lithosphere composed
    mainly of silica-magnesia-rich material (basalt).
    2. Continental Plates - thicker than the oceanic plate but less dense, composed primarily of silica-alumina material
    (granite).
