Activity #2: Group 5 10-RIZAL

This document describes an activity where students will mark the boundaries of tectonic plates by tracing the locations of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges on plastic sheets overlayed on maps. The objectives are to describe the distribution of these features and determine the scientific basis for dividing plates. Figures show maps of earthquake epicenters, volcanoes, and mountain ranges. Questions guide students to analyze the maps and relate these features to the theory of plate tectonics.

ACTIVITY #2

GROUP 5
10- RIZAL
I. TITLE

“LET’S MARK THE


BOUNDARIES”
II. OBJECTIVES
• Describe the distribution of active volcanoes,
earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts.

• Determine the scientific basis for dividing


Lithospheric plates.
III. MATERIALS
• Figure 5: Map of earthquake distribution

• Figure 6: Map of active volcanoes of the world

• Figure 7: Mountain rangers of the world


III. MATERIALS
• 2 pieces plastic sheets used for book cover, same
size as a book page

• Marking pens (two different colors)


IV. PROCEDURE
1. Study Figure 5 showing the earthquake distribution
around the world. Trace the approximate locations
of several earthquake “clusters” using a marking
pen on one of the plastic sheets.
IV. PROCEDURE
2. Study the map of active volcanoes in
Figure 6.

3. On the second plastic sheet, sketch


the approximate locations of several
volcanoes using a marking pen.

4. Place the earthquake plastic sheet


over the volcano plastic sheet.
IV. PROCEDURE
5. Study Figure 7, the orange portions indicate mountain
ranges of the
world.

6. Now that you have seen the location of volcanoes,


mountain ranges, and majority of earthquake epicenters,
study Figure 2: Map of Plate boundaries once more.
V. TABLE
VI. QUESTIONS
Q5. How are earthquakes distributed on the map?

Q6. Where are they located?

Q7. Where are there no earthquakes?

Q8. Why is it important for us to identify areas which are


prone to
earthquakes?
VI. QUESTIONS
Q9. How are volcanoes distributed?

Q10. Where are they located?

Q11. Based on the map, mention a country that is


unlikely to experience
a volcanic eruption.
VI. QUESTIONS
Q12. Compare the location of majority of earthquake epicenters
with the location of volcanoes around the world.

Q13. How will you relate the distribution of mountain ranges with
the earthquake epicenters and volcanoes?

Q14. What do you think is the basis of scientists in dividing Earth’s


lithosphere into several plates?
VII. ANSWERS
5. Earthquakes epicenter are scattered but are not randomly
distributed over the earth’s surface. They tend to be
concentrated in narrow zones along plate boundaries.

6. Some are located near the edges of the continents of Western


North and South America, some are mid continents, some
surround the Pacific Ocean.
VII. ANSWERS
7. Large part of the Pacific Ocean, Northern most Asia, most
areas in Europe, Eastern region of North and South America
and Western Africa.

8. Identifying areas which are prone to earthquakes are


important so that necesarry precautions could be done to
prevent lose of life and other casualties
VII. ANSWERS
9. Volcanoes are not randomly distributed majority of them
are found along the edges of Western North and South
America and also it surrounds the Pacific Ocean.

10. Majority are found along the edges particularly in the


Western Coast of North and South America, some are located
at East and South Eastern Asia.
VII. ANSWERS
11. Eastern North and South America, Russia, in the middle of
Australian, majority of Europe and Africa and Western Asia will
not experience volcanic eruption

12. All areas with volcanoes and mountain ranges have


earthquake epicenter, but not all areas with earthquake
epicenter have active volcanoes and mountain ranges
VII. ANSWERS
13. Mountain ranges are situated in areas with volcanoes and
earthquake epicenter are also located

14. The distribution of earthquake epicenter, active volcanoes


and mountain ranges are the basis of the scientists in dividing the
Earth’s lithosphere.
VIII. CONCLUSION
Therefore we can conclude that the majority of earthquake
epicenters are located in the area where volcanoes and
mountain ranges are found. These are also the basis of the
scientists in marking the boundaries of each lithospheric
plates. Knowing this will help people understand the
geological events occur in their vicinity and prepare for
possible disasters.
