UI Act 2 Part B - ZAMOSA

The document summarizes an activity about the convergence of two oceanic plates. When oceanic plates converge, several geological processes and features occur. The denser plate slides under the less dense plate and sinks into the mantle. This movement causes volcanic eruptions, trenches, earthquakes, and tsunamis to form on the surface of one of the plates. If the edge of a plate suddenly rises upward, it can displace a large amount of water and form a tsunami on the ocean's surface.

Activity 2: Head-On Collision


Part B: Convergence of Two Oceanic Plates
Objectives:
● Explain the processes that occur along convergent boundaries
● Determine the consequences of colliding plates
Procedure:
1. Study Figure 11 It shows a cross section of two converging oceanic plates.
2. Using your knowledge from the previous activity, identify the geologic events or
features resulting from this collision.

Questions for Analysis:


1. What are the geologic processes/events that will occur because of this plate movement?

Teacher: Ms. Katrina S. Dela Paz, LPT


Geological processes events occur when a more dense plate slides under a less dense plate and
sinks into the mantle. Scientists have observed numerous geologic processes happening on
Earth and named them based on their residual effects. These are listed below

The movement of the plates causes major geological events.

2. What geologic features might form at the surface of Plate A?


Volcanic eruptions, Trenches, Earthquakes, and Tsunamis are some of geologic features which
might arise on the surface of Plate A. These geologic features are formed as a result of tectonic
plate movement or occurrences. The activities are based on the time scale and the rock layers
of the Earth.

3. If the edge of Plate A suddenly flicks upward, a large amount of water may be displaced.
What could be formed at the surface of the ocean?
When plate A's edge abruptly rises up, it causes a tsunami on the ocean's surface. But since
they occur under the water, tsunamis are triggered by converging oceanic plates. When
compared to other convergence plates, stronger earthquakes occur at the ocean-ocean
convergence. Strong earthquakes generate deadly tsunamis on the sea floor.
