III. Learning Procedure

 Pre-liminaries

•Prayer (Multimedia presentation via https://meet.google.com/ or

https://zoom.us/ )
•Greetings
•Attendance
•Review
 Lesson Proper

1. Activity

"Let’s think and share”

Procedure:

1. The teacher will instruct the students to have a pair during the virtual
class for the activity that should be done.
2. Each pair will be given 5 minutes to discuss with his/her partner all about
the objectives of the lesson.
3. After the allotted time elapse the teacher will pick a pair via
https://wheelofnames.com/# to share their ideas about the lesson that will
be tackled.

2. Analysis
After the activity the following questions will be asked in the google meet or
zoom:

Guide questions:

 What is your first impression after knowing the objective of our

lesson?
 What do you think is the main focus of the discussion today?
 Are you excited to learn something from our discussion?
If yes, give reason (selected students).
3. Abstraction

Note: Students will be given a pdf file for the discussion and also links that will be used
for further readings to widen their understanding of the topic.

Movement in narrow zones along plate boundaries causes most earthquakes.

Most seismic activity occurs at three types of plate boundaries—divergent, convergent,
and transform.

As the plates move past each other, they sometimes get caught and pressure
builds up. When the plates finally give and slip due to the increased pressure, energy is
released as seismic waves, causing the ground to shake. This is an earthquake.

Some of the plates have ocean water above them. Other plates include
continents, and some plates include both continents and ocean. The movements of the
plates help shape the geological features of our planet. The three main types of plate
movements include:

Divergent (Spreading): This is where two plates move away from each other. Molten
rock from the mantle erupts along the opening, forming new crust. The earthquakes that
occur along these zones, called spreading centers, are relatively small. The Great Rift
Valley in Africa, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden all formed as a result of divergent
plate motion.

Convergent (Colliding): This occurs when plates move towards each other and collide.
When a continental plate meets an oceanic plate, the thinner, denser, and more flexible
oceanic plate sinks beneath the thicker, more rigid continental plate. This is called
subduction. Subduction causes deep ocean trenches to form, such as the one along the
west coast of South America. The rocks pulled down under the continent begin to melt.
Sometimes the molten rock rises to the surface, through the continent, forming a line of
volcanoes. About 80% of earthquakes occur where plates are pushed together, called
convergent boundaries.

Another form of convergent boundary is a collision where two continental plates

meet head-on. Since neither plate is stronger than the other, they crumple and are
pushed up. This can lead to the formation of huge, high mountain ranges such as the
Himalayas.

When two tectonic plates slide past each other, the place where they meet is a
transform or lateral fault. The San Andreas Fault is one of the best examples of lateral
plate motion.

Fault categories

The sense of stress determines the type of fault that forms, and we usually
categorize that sense of stress in three different ways:
1. compression,
2. tension, and
3. shear.
Handily, these three senses of stress also correlate with the three types of plate
boundaries.
;’,
1. Compressive stress happens at convergent plate boundaries where two plates
move toward each other.
2. Tensional stress happens at divergent plate boundaries where two plates are
moving away from each other.
3. Shear stress is experienced at transform boundaries where two plates are sliding
past each other.

How Tsunamis Form?

A tsunami is a series of waves

generated in an ocean or other body of
water by a disturbance such as an
earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or
meteorite impact. The picture at the left
shows how an earthquake can generate a
tsunami in the overlying water. Undersea
earthquakes, which typically occur at
boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates,
cause the water above to be moved up or
down. Tsunami waves are formed as the
displaced water, which acts under the
influence of gravity, attempts to find a
stable position again.

Undersea landslides, which can be

caused by large earthquakes, can also
cause tsunami waves to form as water
attempts to find a stable position. Undersea
volcano eruptions can create enough force
to uplift the water column and generate a
tsunami.

Asteroid impacts disturb the water from

above, as momentum from falling debris is
transferred to the water into which the debris falls. When movement along a fault moves
the seafloor upward, water is also pushed upward and becomes tsunami waves. As the
waves approach shallower water, they become higher.
4. Application

“Vocabulary Matching”

Direction: Give the correct answer. What type of plate boundary is presented?
Send your output via messenger or send it in my email address
[email protected] or in the google classroom. You may write your answers
in a piece of paper take a picture of it and then send it.

plates slide past each other. plates move apart. plates collide.

Answer: Answer: Answer:

IV. Evaluation
Instruction: Answer the comparison table below of the following faults categories:
COMPRESSION, TENSION, and SHEAR. Using this SmartArt Graphics in your
Microsoft Office Word. After that send your file in my email address
[email protected] or in the google classroom. You may write your answers
in a piece of paper take a picture of it and then send it.
V. Assignments:

In google classroom the teacher will post an issue and students will state their
point of view about “How can humans reduce the impact of a tsunami?” It should be
done by commenting in the comment section. Students should provide supporting
details coming from reliable sources (offline or online resources). Use APA format in
referencing.

VI. Closure

 Closing Prayer (Multimedia presentation)

 Saying Thank you and Good bye.
