Have you ever tried mountain hiking? Which mountain were you able to hike? How is this majestic land formation formed? Formation of Landforms The learners will be able to: Differentiate among divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. Explain how the movement of plate leads to the formation of trenches, volcanoes, rift valleys, and mountain ranges(S11/12ES-IIg-h34).  PLATES ARE IN CONSTANT MOTION RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER, AND MOST MAJOR TECTONIC ACTIVITIES CAN BE FOUND IN PLATE BOUNDARIES. DIVERGENT BOUNDARIES Divergent boundaries are formed when two plates move away from each other resulting in the rising of the molten Divergent boundary material. DIVERGENT BOUNDARIES Divergent boundaries may form continental rifts. Birth of an ocean floor CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES Convergent boundaries are formed when two plates move toward each other. There are three types of An example of a convergent these boundaries. boundary is seen in the Juan de Fuca plate. CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES In oceanic-continental convergence, the continental crust remains buoyant while the oceanic crust starts to sink into the mantle. Oceanic-continental convergence CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES Oceanic-oceanic convergence happens when two oceanic crusts converge and the denser oceanic crust sinks beneath the other oceanic crust. Oceanic-oceanic convergence CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES Continental- continental convergence happens when a continental crust moves toward Continental-continental convergence another landmass. TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARIES Transform plate boundaries (also transform fault boundaries) happen when two plates simply slide horizontally past each other. Transform plate boundary  Divergent Boundary Divergent boundary is formed when two plates move apart. Convergent Boundary Convergent boundary is formed when two plates move toward each other. Transform Boundary Transform plate boundary happens when two plates simply slide horizontally past each other. G- To produce and present a mini research paper with power point presentation that will show the prediction of the future using the theories. R– young scientists A – students and teachers S – The National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP) is conducting their annual research convention to select potential groups of young scientists to represent the Philippines in the international young scientists convention under the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States of America (USA). As part of the historian organization of Davao City, your team was tasked to create a research paper and presentation that will show predictions of the future based on theories. They will be presenting their research to the NRCP council and head researchers alongside their PowerPoint presentations and manuscripts. The following are the topics: 1. STEM – Pangaea 2. ABM/HUMSS – Evolution of Crops P- research paper, script, power point and research presentation WRITE TRUE IF THE STATEMENT IS TRUE AND FALSE OTHERWISE. 1. A new seafloor is created when molten material from the lowermost crust rises and fills up the gap formed due to divergence of plate. 2. Younger oceanic crust is found along the oceanic ridge. 3. The collision between oceanic and continental crust forms continental volcanic arc. 4. San Andreas fault is formed due to two plates passing slide each other. 5. Slab pull could most likely be observed at transform boundary.
