Science 10 SCIENCE 10 Plate Tectonics and Mechanism of Plate Movements St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What are the main layers of the Earth? St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What are the distinct features of each layer? St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Can we really go to the center of the Earth? St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 Earth has four major distinct layer: crust, mantle, inner core, and outer core. St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 What are the two types of crust, and how does it differ from one another? St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 What are the two types of crust, and how does it differ from one another? St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 How does convection current in the mantle affects the movement of the lithosphere? St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 How does convection current in the mantle affects the movement of the lithosphere? The asthenosphere can deform and reshape as a result of the hot, molten mantle, which circulates a convection current. St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 How does convection current in the mantle affects the movement of the lithosphere? These mechanism of heat transfer drives the movement of tectonic plates. St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 How does the composition of outer core differ from inner core? St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 Let’s Recall St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 Let’s Recall (1) crust (2) mantle (3a) outer core (3b) inner core (4) lithosphere (5) asthenosphere (6) outer core (7) inner core. St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 Let’s Recall Lithosphere, a rigid layer that can break under stress, is made up of: a. crust and innermost mantle b. crust and outmost mantle c. mantle and outer core d. mantle and inner core St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 Let’s Recall Lithosphere, a rigid layer that can break under stress, is made up of: a. crust and innermost mantle b. crust and outmost mantle c. mantle and outer core d. mantle and inner core St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 Let’s Recall It is located below lithosphere and contains, hot, molten rocks or magma. a. asthenosphere b. mantle c. outer core d. inner core St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 Let’s Recall It is located below lithosphere and contains, hot, molten rocks or magma. a. asthenosphere b. mantle c. outer core d. inner core St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 What is a tectonic plate? St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 Pangaea The term comes from the word pan means ‘all’ and gaea means ‘land.’ St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 Pangaea The term comes from the word pan means ‘all’ and gaea means ‘land.’ What mechanisms cause the tectonic plates to move? St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 INVESTIGATING EARTH MOVEMENT Objective: Access the simulations and investigate how the Earth moves. https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/pla https://tectonic-explorer.concord.org/? te-tectonics rocks=false&planetWizard=true St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 How does Philippines’ archipelagic feature contributes to the formation of volcanoes? St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 St. Scholastica’s College Manila Science 10 How does the number of volcanoes contributes to the number of earthquakes felt in the Philippines?
