Explain the different processes that occur along
the plate boundaries (S10ES – Ia-j-36.3)
1. Identify and describe the different processes that
occur along the plate boundaries

2. Explain what happens when oceanic crust and

continental crust collide and identify the different
geologic features associated with them.

3. Explain what happens when two oceanic plates
collide and identify the landforms associated with it.

4. Explain what happens when two continental plate

boundaries collide and identify landforms associated
to it.
 DISCUSSION
CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY
(Destructive Plate Boundary)
two neighboring plates move toward each
other and one plate either dives under the
other (subduction zone) or the two plates
crumple (collision zone) where they collide.

OCEANIC-OCEANIC CONVERGENCE
 FORMATION OF PHILIPPINE
ARCHIPELAGO

1. Many parts of the Philippines originated from

oceanic-oceanic convergence

2. Majority of the islands of the Philippine

archipelago are considered as part of the
Philippine Mobile Belt.

3. Collision of the Philippine Mobile Belt with

the sundaland block of the Eurasian Plate
explains the presence of trenches such as
the Manila-Negros-Cotabato trench System,
and the Sulu trench.

 SUMMING UP

1. Differentiate the three types of

convergent plate boundaries.
2. Enumerate the geologic events and
features in each type.
3. Cite two real world examples.
