    Convergent Plate Boundaries

    1. The document discusses three types of convergent plate boundaries: oceanic-continental convergence, oceanic-oceanic convergence, and continental-continental convergence. 2. Oceanic-continental convergence results in the denser oceanic plate bending downward, melting at the mantle, and forming volcanoes on the continental plate. 3. Oceanic-oceanic convergence leads to subduction, trench and volcano formation, and potential tsunamis. 4. Continental-continental convergence causes buckling and mountain formation without subduction.

    Activity 3: Head – On Collision

    Part A: Converging Continental Plate and


    Oceanic Plate

    Objectives:
    1. Explain the processes that occur along convergent
    boundaries.
    2. Determine the consequences of colliding plates.
    Guide Questions:
    Q15. What type of plate is Plate
    A? What about plate B? Why do
    you say so?

    Ans: Plate A is an oceanic plate


    because it is relatively thinner
    compared to plate B. While Plate B is
    continental plate because it is thicker
    and floats higher than the other plate
    Guide Questions:
    Q16. Describe what happens to
    Plate A as it collides with plate
    B? Why?

    Ans: Plate A bends


    downward because Plate
    A is denser than Plate B
    Guide Questions:
    Q17. What do you think will
    happen to the leading edge of
    Plate A as it continues to move
    downward? Why?

    Ans: The leading edge of


    plate A will start to melt
    because the temperature
    beneath the crust (mantle)
    is higher
    Guide Questions:
    Q18. What do you call
    this molten material?

    Ans: This molten


    material is called
    Magma
    Guide Questions:
    Q19. What is formed on
    top of Plate B?

    Ans: Volcanoes
    Guide Questions:
    Q20. As the plates continue
    to grind against each other,
    what other geologic event
    could take place?

    Ans: Earthquake
    Oceanic- Continental Convergence
    Examples:

    1. Nazca Plate subducted under South


    American Plate shich form Andes Mountains
    and Peru Tench

    2. Subduction of Juan de Fuca Plate undert


    North Amencan Plate creating Cascade Range
    CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARIES
    Activity 3: Head – On Collision
    Part B: Convergence of Two Oceanic Plates

    Objectives:
    1. Explain the processes that occur along convergent
    boundaries.
    2. Determine the consequences of colliding plates.
    Guide Questions:
    Q21. What are the geologic
    processes / events that will
    occur because of this plate
    movement?

    Ans: Subduction
    Earthquake, Formation
    of Trenches and
    Volcanoes
    Guide Questions:
    Q22. What geologic
    features might form at the
    surface of th Plate A?

    Ans: Volcanoes
    Guide Questions:
    Q23. 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?

    Ans: Tsunami
    Volcanic Arc

    Trenches
    Tsunami
    (Harbor wave)

    Earthquake
    oceanic-oceanic convergent

    - Subduction of the Pacific Plate south


    of Alaska (creating the Aleutian Islands)
    and under the Philippine Plate, where
    it creates the Marianas Trench, the
    deepest part of the ocean
    Formation of
    Philippine
    Archipelago
    Activity 3: Head – On Collision
    Part C: Two Continental Plates Converging

    Objectives:
    1. Explain the processes that occur along convergent
    boundaries.
    2. Determine the consequences of colliding plates.
    Guide Questions:
    Q24. What happened to the strips of clay as
    they were pushed from opposite ends

    Ans:It buckles upward


    Guide Questions:
    Q25. If the strips of clay represent the Earth’s
    Lithosphere, what do you think is formed in
    the lithosphere?

    Ans: Mountains
    Guide Questions:
    Q26. What other geologic event could take
    place with this type of plate movement aside
    from your answer in Q25?

    Ans: Earthqukaes
    Guide Questions:
    Q26. In terms of the consequences on the
    Earth’s lithosphere, how will you
    differentitate this type of convergent plate
    boundary with the other two?

    Ans: There is no subduction and as a result


    there is a formation of mountains
    HIMALAYAN MOUNTAIN FORMATION
    TWO CONTINENTAL CONVERGING
