DISCUSSION
What Are Tectonic Plates?
Believe it or not over 250 million years ago all of the different continents on earth were actually
one giant land mass and it is called Pangaea.
The major tectonic plates are large pieces of the Earth's lithosphere, and they cover most of the
planet's surface. Here are the seven major tectonic plates:
Eurasian Plate
Africa Plate
Australia Plate
South America Plate
North America Plate
Pacific Plate
Antarctic Plate
The minor plates are:
Philippines Sea Plate
Scotia Plate
Nazca Plate
Cocos Plate
Caribbean Plate
Juan De Fuca Plate
Somali Plate
Bismark Plate
Indian Plate
Arabian Plate
1.Divergent Boundaries (Plates Move Apart)
At divergent boundaries, two tectonic plates move away from each other.
This happens mostly under the ocean. As the plates move apart, magma from beneath
the Earth’s surface rises up to fill the gap, forming new ocean crust.
APPLICATION
(Group Work)
If you are listening you will know the different major and minor plates. Make a map that
consist of Major and Minor plates. Draw it in a bond-paper.
IV. GENERALIZATION
Q1. What plates move apart and because of this new crust is created?
Divergent Boundaries: Plates move apart. New crust is created.
Q2. What plates move towards each other and because of this movement, mountains or
volcanoes can form?
Convergent Boundaries: Plates move towards each other. Mountains or volcanoes can
form.
Q3. What are the three types of plate boundaries?
Convergent Boundaries
Divergent Boundaries
Transform Boundaries
