Material:
Tectonic plates diagram
Procedure:
1. Refer to the major tectonic plates below. The following symbols are used for each type of plate
boundary.
2. Choose any convergent boundary from the diagram and infer what will happen if the plates will
converge. Write your answer in the data table of your answer sheet.
3. Choose any divergent boundary and infer what will happen if the plates will move away from
each other. Write your answer in the data table of your answer sheet.
4. Choose any transform boundary and infer what will happen if the plates will slide past each
other. Write your answer in the data table of your answer sheet.

Conclusion:
In Conclusion, the tectonic plates differ from each other. The movement occurs from the plate depends
on the kind of plate boundary they have resulting to many possible land forms. The earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions and the formation of many landforms occurs from the result of many plate interactions here in earth.
The different kinds of plate boundaries in each country signify the landforms that can be found or situated in
each country and how they are formed.
