Volcanoes, Earthquakes & Mountain Ranges Science 10-Quarter 1-Module 1 WMSU Sheryl P. Ramirez, Ed.D Science Teacher 1 Classroom Rules Listen to the teacher when he or she speaks Raise your hand before speaking or when you have questions Don't do anything that is unnecessary Respect to the teacher and to your fellow classmates is a MUST. 2 Objectives: 1. Describe and relate the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts to Plate Tectonic Theory; 2. Enumerate ways to ensure disaster preparedness during earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions; and 3. Suggest ways by which one can contribute to government efforts in reducing damage due to earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. 3 Specific Objectives 4 Pre-Test Directions: Read each item carefully.

Which theory states that the entire crust is broken and is continuously moving? A. Continental Drift C. Seafloor Spreading B. Plate Tectonics D. Titanic Theory 6. Which of the following is NOT a result of Plate Tectonics? A. earthquake B. fault lines C. landslides D. mountains 7. This earthquake type happens when the shifting of Earth’s plates is driven by the sudden release of energy within some limited region of the rocks of Earth. A. aftershock B. foreshock C. tectonic D. volcanic 8. How are tsunamis created? A. A submarine earthquake causes a huge amount of water to be displaced. B. Differences in temperature cause hot seawater to rise. C. The gravitational pull of the moon causes the ocean water to rise. D. Topography underwater causes disturbances in the oceans’ current. 6 Pre-Test Directions: Read each item carefully. Write only the letter of the correct answer for each question. 9. A landmass that projects well above its surroundings is a mountain. What do youcall a chain of mountains? A. mountain area C. mountain range B. mountain chain D. mountainous 10. It is the location on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake. A. center B. direct center C. epic center D. epicenter 11. Plates float on the surface of the mantle.

They are always 3 kilometers away from each other. C. They are situated at the same location. D. They are not necessarily relevant. 15. How will you relate the distributions of mountain ranges, earthquake epicenters,and volcanoes? A. Mountain ranges are found in places between where volcanoes and earthquake epicenters are also situated. B. Mountain ranges are found in places where volcanoes and/or earthquake epicenters are also situated. C. Mountain ranges are found only in places where earthquake epicenters are situated. D. Mountain ranges are found only in places where volcanoes are situated. 8  Directions: Do you still remember your discussions during your Grade 6, 8, and 9 about volcanoes and earthquakes?
