Study Notes
Healthy Screen Time Tips
- Sit properly with back supported by the chair backrest
- Change positions regularly to avoid strain
- Keep dim lighting in the room to avoid eye damage
- Stretch during commercial breaks to move around and relax
- Avoid watching TV in bed to prevent neck and back ache
Plate Tectonics
- Plate tectonics explains the features and movement of the Earth's surface
- The Earth's surface is broken into numerous segments called plates
- There are 7 large plates: African, Antarctic, North American, South American, Indian, Australian, and Pacific plates
- Plate movements can result in earthquakes, volcanism, and mountain formations
Earth's Structure
- The Earth's mantle is a 100 km thick layer of solid rock
- The lithosphere is the outermost solid layer of the Earth, including the crust
- The asthenosphere is the softer, solid layer beneath the lithosphere
- Convection in the asthenosphere forms the foundation of plate tectonics
Distribution of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Mountain Ranges
- Earthquakes are not randomly distributed, but tend to be concentrated in narrow zones
- Volcanoes are not randomly distributed, but are found along the edges of some continents
- Mountain ranges are formed by plate movements, resulting in earthquakes and volcanism
- The Philippines is situated in the Ring of Fire, a geologically active area with frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
The Ring of Fire
- The Ring of Fire is a long chain of volcanoes and tectonically active structures surrounding the Pacific Ocean
- It is also known as the circum-Pacific belt
- About 90% of the world's earthquakes occur in the Ring of Fire
- Notable volcanoes in the Ring of Fire include Mount Pinatubo, Mount Fuji, and Mount St. Helens
Healthy Screen Time Tips
- Maintaining good posture with back support is essential for comfortable screen time
- Regularly changing positions helps prevent physical strain
- Dimly lit rooms reduce eye damage risk
- Taking stretching breaks during commercials promotes movement and relaxation
- Avoiding TV time in bed prevents neck and back aches
Plate Tectonics
- Plate tectonics is a theory explaining Earth's surface features and movements
- Earth's surface is composed of numerous segments called plates
- There are 7 large plates: African, Antarctic, North American, South American, Indian, Australian, and Pacific
- Plate movements cause earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formations
Earth's Structure
