    The document discusses plate tectonics and volcanism. It explains that plate tectonics involves the movement of tectonic plates in the earth's crust and mantle, which causes geological phenomena like mountain formation, volcanoes, and earthquakes. It describes the two main types of lithospheric plates and how they interact at boundaries. The document also discusses how volcanism is linked to plate tectonics, with most volcanoes occurring at boundaries where plates are either moving apart or one is subducting under the other. It provides examples of volcanically active areas like the Philippines that lie at the intersection of tectonic plates.

    MATT MC HENRY C. HERNANDEZ Q1, WEEK 1


    GRADE 10 SSC TCHR. BERNADETTE M. OBEDOZA

    LESSON 1 : PLATE TECTONICS THEORY

    Evaluation

    1. I think it will happen if earth has no tectonic plates the earth's complex terrain, which
    affords a diverse range of habitats, would not exist without plate tectonics. Hydrothermal
    vents on the ocean floor are also caused by plate tectonics.

    2. The plate tectonics theory, the earth's solid outer crust, is divided into plates that move
    across the asthenosphere, the molten upper layer of the mantle, according to plate
    tectonics theory. Oceanic and continental plates collide, spread apart, and interact at all
    of the planet's boundaries.

    3. The two types of lithospheric plates are Oceanic Lithosphere and Continental
    Lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere are the two forms of
    lithosphere. Oceanic lithosphere is slightly denser than continental lithosphere and is
    connected with oceanic crust. Tectonic activity is the most well-known aspect of the
    earth's lithosphere.

    4. Because the theory of plate tectonics regarded as the most important theory ever
    developed in the field of geology plate tectonics, which explains how the movement of
    geologic plates causes mountain formation, volcanoes, and earthquakes, revolutionized
    the earth sciences.

    5. The benefits of studying about geology are predicting how earth systems and the
    universe will behave. Finding enough natural resources, such as groundwater, petroleum,
    and metals. Soil conservation and agricultural productivity are both important. Developing
    natural resources in a way that is environmentally friendly.
    LESSON 2 : VOLCANISM

    Evaluation

    1. The movement of tectonic plates as stated in the plate tectonic theory to the formation
    of volcano and volcanic activity. Friction and heat are created as plates slide past each
    other. Diverging plates form fresh crust material as subducting plates melt into the mantle.
    Volcanoes and earthquakes are linked to subducting plates, when one tectonic plate is
    pushed beneath another.

    2. The diagrams of earth’s tectonic plates and distribution of hotspots. I notice that the
    tectonic plate is steadily advancing above the hotspot, which remains rooted to its deep
    source of heat. The volcano moves with the plate, and a new one emerges in its stead.
    The volcano that shifted is now dormant.

    3. The principal settings where volcanism occurs remember that plate borders come in
    three examples: convergent, divergent, and transform. Volcanic activity is prevalent at
    convergent (subduction zones) and divergent (mid-ocean ridges, continental rifts)
    boundaries, but not at transform boundaries.

    4. The principal setting contains many volcanoes like the Philippines' volcanoes. I think
    so they are formed at the tectonic plate boundary between the Philippines and the
    Eurasian plates. Because of the archipelago's frequent severe rains, lahars (mud flows)
    are particularly common. Tsunamis occur more frequently in the Philippines than in any
    other volcanic location.

    5. The zone contains more volcanoes, as the plates pull away from one other, new crust
    is formed at divergent boundaries. Convergent borders are where one plate dives
    beneath another, destroying the crust. As the plates travel horizontally past one other,
    transform barriers where neither crust is generated nor destroyed.

    Because the majority of volcanoes are found along plate borders that are either
    convergent or divergent. The Pacific Ring of Fire is the world's most active geological
    zone. Volcanoes form above hotspots, which are melting zones above mantle plumes,
    such as those that generate the Hawaiian islands.

    6. The Philippines have many volcanoes because it has a unique geological context that
    is conducive to volcanism and earthquakes. It lies at the intersection of two tectonic
    plates: the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate, both of which subduct or dive
    beneath the archipelago via deep trenches along its east and west coasts.
