Find the Center


Activity 1.1
Objective:
Locate the epicenter of an earthquake using the triangulation method.

Date and Observation:


Data showing the difference in the arrival time of P-wave and S-wave on three seismic recording stations.
Recording station Time difference (Td) in the arrival Distance of epicenter from the
time of P-wave and S-wave (seconds) station (km)

Batangas 44.8 sec 560 km


Puerto Princesa 60 sec 750 km
Davao 35 sec 437.5 km

Compute the distance of the epicenter from each of the stations using this formula:

Let’s Mark the Boundaries


Activity 1.2

Objectives:
• Describe the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts.
• Determine the scientific basis for dividing the Lithospheric plates.

Questions:
(Figure 5. Map of earthquake distribution (Red, green, and blue dots represent earthquake epicenters)
Q1. How are earthquakes distributed on the map?

Q2. Where are they located?

Q3. Where are there no earthquakes?

Q4. Why is it important for us to identify areas which are prone to earthquakes?

Q5. How are volcanoes distributed?

Q6. Where are they located?

Q7. Based on the map, mention a country that is unlikely to experience a volcanic eruption.

Q8. Compare the location of majority of earthquake epicenters with the location of volcanoes around the world.

Q9. How will you relate the distribution of mountain ranges with the distribution of earthquake epicenters and volcanoes?

Q10. What do you think is the basis of scientists in dividing Earth’s lithosphere into several plates?

Head-On Collision
Activity 1.3
Objectives:
• Explain the processes that occur along convergent boundaries.
• Determine the consequences of colliding plates.

Part A: Converging Continental Plate and Oceanic Plate


1. What type of plate is Plate A? What about Plate B? Why do you say so?

2. Describe what happens to Plate A as it collides with Plate B? Why?

3. What do you think may happen to the leading edge of Plate A as it continues to move downward? Why?

4. What do you call this molten material?

5. What is formed on top of Plate B?

6. As the plates continue to grind against each other, what other geologic event could take place?

Part B: Convergence of Two Oceanic Plates


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

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

9. 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?

Part C: Two Continental Plates Converging


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

11. What are the geologic features/landforms that are created during the plate movement?

12. In terms of the consequences on the Earth’s lithosphere, how will you differentiate this type of convergent plate boundary
with the other two?

Going Separate Ways


Activity 1.4
Objectives:
1. Explain the processes that occur along divergent boundaries.
2. Determine the results of plates that are moving apart.

Questions:
Q1. What are common in the four pictures?

Q2. Millions of years ago, the land masses in each picture were once connected. What do you think is happening to the Earth’s
crust in those pictures?

Q3. If this event continues for millions of years, what do you think will be the effect on the crust?
