    Remember Where the Edges Meet


    What you need:

    ✔ separate sheet of paper

    ✔ ball pen

    ✔ copy of page 8 maps of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain
    ranges (photocopied or traced, for cutting)
    ✔ small world map (page 9)

    ✔ scissors

    ✔ bright light source (sunlight, lamp, flashlight or cellphone flash)

    What you have to do:

    1. Get a separate sheet of paper for your answers and observation. Do not copy the
    questions, just write your answers or observations.

    2. Study Map 1 (Distribution of Earthquakes) on page 8 that shows the earthquake


    distribution around the world. The dark areas are the earthquake epicenters.
    Take note of the areas where they are closely situated. Answer the following
    questions:
    a. How are earthquakes distributed on the map? ___________________________
    b. Where are they situated? _______________________________________________
    c. Look at your world map on page 9 and compare the earthquake
    epicenters. Name the country/ies where earthquakes may not happen.
    _________________________________________________________________________
    d. Why are there no earthquakes on the country/ies you mentioned?
    _________________________________________________________________________

    3. Study Map 2 (Earth’s Major Volcanoes) on page 8. Take note that the dark dots
    are the active volcanoes.
    e. How are volcanoes distributed? _________________________________________
    f. Where are they situated? _______________________________________________
    g. Based on the map, which country/ies will unlikely experience a volcanic
    eruption? ______________________________________________________________

    4. NOTE: To be able to perform this activity, you need cutouts of the maps on page 8. Your
    subject teacher may or may not be able to send you a photocopy of this page so you may
    either ask your home facilitator to photocopy it for you or you may trace each map on a
    clean sheet of bond paper.
    Cut your photocopied/traced Map 1 and Map 2 along the edges Place Map 1
    (Earthquakes) over Map 2 (Volcanoes).

    NOTE: Remember to place the edges of the continents of each map exactly on
    top of each other.

    5. Bring the maps over any of the bright source of light available (ceiling lamp, sunlight,
    flashlight/cellphone light). Make sure you can see where the dark areas and dots are.
    h. How do you compare the location of majority of earthquake epicenters
    with the location of volcanoes around the world?
    _________________________________________________________________________

    6. Study Map 3 (Mountain Chains), the coarse and darker areas are the mountain
    ranges of the world.

    7. Cut your photocopied/traced Map 3 along the edges. Place it under Map1
    and Map 2.
    NOTE: Read first the descriptions below each arrow, then cut these maps
    individually along the dotted lines.

    8. Bring the maps over any bright source of light available.


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

    9. Now that you have seen the location of volcanoes, mountain ranges, and
    majority of earthquake epicenters, study Figure 1 on page 5 (Map of Moving
    Plates) once more.
    j. What do you think is the basis of scientists in dividing Earth’s lithosphere
    into several plates? _______________________________________________________
