    Las Science 10 Q1W2

    Uploaded by

    Janet Busico
    This document provides a learning activity sheet for students in Science 10 about volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain ranges. It discusses plate tectonics theory and how the movement of tectonic plates results in geologic processes like mountain building, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. Specifically, it focuses on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where there is a high concentration of volcanoes and seismic activity along the boundaries of tectonic plates surrounding the Pacific Ocean, including in the Philippines. Students are asked to study a map of volcanoes in the Pacific region and answer questions testing their understanding of the relationship between plate tectonics and these geologic phenomena.

    VOLCANOES, EARTHQUAKES AND MOUNTAIN RANGES

    Most Essential Learning Competencies:


    Describe and relate the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters and major mountain belts to Plate
    Tectonic Theory (S10ES-Ia-j-36.1)

    Background
    Our Earth has four layers consisting of different materials, namely, crust, mantle, inner, and outer core. For this
    LAS, we will focus on the lithosphere which is composed of the crust and the upper mantle. The lithosphere is said to be
    in constant but very slow motion. These motions are not the same everywhere. This movement of the lithosphere is
    called tectonics. According to the Plate Tectonics Theory, the entire lithosphere of the Earth is broken into numerous
    segments called plates (see Figure 1). The arrows show the direction of the plate movement and the other lines are the
    fault lines.

    Remember that plates are in constant motion. As they interact along their margins, important geologic
    processes take places, such as the formation of major mountain ranges, active volcanoes, and earthquake epicenters. It
    means to say that, where there are earthquakes, crusts can either meet or move apart and form mountains and
    volcanoes.

    You proved the worldwide evidence of Plate Tectonics with our activity in the previous LAS. Here is an
    enrichment activity for you to work on to strengthen the basic concepts you have learned from our mini-lesson and to
    validate your observations in the activity part.

    Activity 1. Re-circle the Ring


    Plate movements may result in earthquakes. Earthquakes may happen anytime, either on land or underwater.
    Earthquakes on land can be caused either by tectonic plate’s movement or volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes under the
    sea can cause a tsunami.
    Our country, the Philippines, is situated in a place where Plate Tectonics is very evident the Ring of Fire. It is a
    long chain of volcanoes and other tectonically active structures that surround the Pacific Ocean. The Ring of Fire is one
    of the most geologically active areas on Earth and a site for frequent earthquakes and powerful volcanic eruptions.
    What you have to do:
    1. Study Figure 2 below. It shows the active volcanoes (triangles) all over the Pacific region. Go back to Figure 1 to see
    again the moving plates. You will realize that the volcanoes in Figure 2 are also situated in the areas of plate movement.
    2. Answer the following questions:
    a. Using the map in Figure 2, which volcanoes are familiar to you? Why? _______________________________________
    __________________________________________________________________________________________
    b. Why is this area called the Pacific Ring of Fire? _____________________________________________________
    __________________________________________________________________________________________
    __________________________________________________________________________________________

    Let us see if you have grasped the essence of our enrichment activity. Answer the assessment that follows.

    Assessment 1
    Directions: Read each item carefully. Write only the letter of the correct answer for each question before the number.

    2. Which famous Philippine volcano is usually seen in world maps due to its violent eruption in 1991?
    A. Bulusan B. Kanlaon C. Mayon D. Pinatubo
    3. Look back at Figure 1. All of these plates are in the Pacific Ring of Fire, EXCEPT ____.
    A. Cocos B. Eurasian C. Nazca D. North American
    4. All of these have volcano or earthquake activity EXCEPT _____.
    A. Australia B. Japan C. Mexico D. Philippines
    5. How do you describe the location of earthquake epicenters, active volcanoes, and moving plates in the Pacific Ring of
    Fire?
    A. They are all over the place.
    B. They are concentrated in one area.
    C. They are situated in the same location.
    D. They are strategically plotted in clusters.
