PLATE TECTONICS: Processes and
landforms along plate boundaries

Content Standard: The relationship among the locations of volcanoes, earthquake
epicentres, and mountain ranges.
Learning Competency: Explain the different processes that occur along the plate
boundaries S10ES –Ia-j-36.3
INTRODUCTION
This Self Learning Kit focuses on the Types of Convergent Plate boundary.
Through this, you will understand the geological processes which affect us and
our environment in so many ways. You are going to analyze why earthquakes,
volcanic activity, and mountain building occur in the different parts of the
world. Activities are provided for you to fully understand about these natural
phenomena.
The activities given include the convergence between two oceanic plates,
oceanic and continental plates, and between two continental plates.
At the end of the week, you are expected to answer the following
questions:
PRE-ASSESSMENT

Review
In the previous lesson, you learned that there are three types of Plate
Boundaries: Convergent, Divergent, and Transform Fault. In convergent plate
boundary, the plates are moving toward each other, divergent plate boundary, the
plates are moving away from each other and in transform fault the plates are sliding
past each other. Please refer to the illustrations below:
There are many processes that occur along these boundaries which
affect us and our environment.

QUESTIONS
3. What do you think will happen to the leading edge of Plate A as it continues to
move downward? Why?
6. As the plates continue to grind against each other, what other geologic event
could take place?
Discussion
The previous activity depicts what happens during collision of two plates; one
has continental edge while the other has an oceanic edge. From the diagram, it is
clear that this event gives rise to the formation of a volcanic arc near the edge of a
continental leading plate. The reason for this is because the denser oceanic crust
(Plate A) undergoes what we call subduction process or the bending of rock towards
the mantle. Since the mantle is hotter than the crust, the tendency is the subducted
crust melt forming magma. Addition of volatile material such as water will cause the
magma to become less dense, hence allowing it to rise and reach the crust once
again and causing volcanic activities on the continental leading plate.
For the oceanic crust, one important geologic feature is formed, and that is
the trench. Also called submarine valleys, ocean trenches are the deepest part of
the ocean. One of the deepest is the Philippine trench with a depth of 10,540
meters.

a. Give the geologic features formed when two oceanic plates collide with
each other.
b. Explain the geologic processes that occur when an oceanic plate collides
with another oceanic plate.

QUESTIONS
1. What geologic processes /events that will occur because of the collision between
two oceanic plates?
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?
4. What do you call that event in which the denser and colder oceanic crust thrusts
into the mantle which will later become magma?
Discussion
The leading edge of the subducted plates will eventually reach the mantle
causing it to melt and turn into magma. The molten material will rise to the
surface creating a volcanic island arc parallel to the trench. Volcanic island arc is
a chain of volcanoes position in an arc shape as seen below.

This kit is divided into different components and you are encouraged to
read and understand each component carefully.
First is the introduction that lays out what will be covered in the entire
lesson. Then, you will answer the pretest to evaluate your prior
knowledge about the topic. A series of activities will follow which allow
you to use and maximize your skills and apply critical thinking in
answering the questions after each activity. Key concepts are provided
after each activity to clarify your doubts and confusion. After all the
activities, summarized key concepts are given to deepen your
understanding about the topic. Lastly, you will answer a post evaluation
to assess your understanding about the entire lesson.
