Ac#vity #3

1. Study Map 1 (Distribu0on of Earthquakes) on page 2 that shows the earthquake distribu0on around the world. The dark
areas are the earthquake epicenters. Take note of the areas where they are closely situated. Answer the following
ques0ons:
a. How are earthquakes distributed on the map? ____________________________________________________
b. Where are they situated? _____________________________________________________________________
c. Look at your world map on page 3 and compare the earthquake epicenters. Name the country/ies where
earthquakes may not happen.___________________________________________________________________
d. Why are there no earthquakes on the country/ies you men0oned?____________________________________

2. Study Map 2 (Earth’s Major Volcanoes) on page 2. Take note that the dark dots are the ac0ve volcanoes.
e. How are volcanoes distributed? ________________________________________________________________
f. Where are they situated? ______________________________________________________________________
g. Based on the map, which country/ies will unlikely experience a volcanic erup0on?________________________

i. How will you relate the distribu0on of mountain ranges with the distribu0on of earthquake epicenters and volcanoes?
Our Earth has four layers consisting of different materials, namely, crust,

mantle, inner, and outer core. For this module, we will focus on the lithosphere which
is composed of the crust and the upper mantle.
