Scenario Analysis
1. As it deals with the study of rocks, these are examples of petrology, as shown by the first
phrase. Another term for it is crystallography, as a few small crystals may be seen in sentence
number two. The last one is also known as mineralogy, and it involves examining the mineral
3. Paleontology, because they were studying what are known as fossils—ancient remains.
4. Seismology, as in the first sentence students put up a seismograph to track ground motions.
5. It deals with the study of stratified rocks and their correlation, therefore it is Stratigraphy.

Plate Tectonics
3. We learned that the lithosphere is broken into pieces. What are the pieces called? What is plate
tectonics?
- It is true that the lithosphere is fragmented; these fragments are known as tectonic plates.
On the surface of the Earth, tectonic plates are inflexible, solid fragments of the lithosphere
that move and interact with one another. Plate tectonics is the name of the theory that
describes how these plates move and interact.
4. What kind of a landform is created at convergent plate boundaries? Give one example.
- Strong geological interactions give rise to a variety of landforms at tectonic plate borders,
the places where they converge. A subduction zone, formed when one tectonic plate
subducts beneath another, is one notable landform formed along convergent plate borders.
5. What kind of a landform is created at divergent plate boundaries? Give one example.
- Tectonic plates separate at divergent plate boundaries, resulting in the formation of mid-
ocean ridges on the ocean bottom and, sometimes, rift valleys on continents.
7. Look at the image and make a list of the plates having divergent, convergent, and transform
boundaries. Example: Divergent boundary between the Nazca and Pacific Plates.

Learning Activity 3
1. Identify the 6 main types of plate boundaries. Give the geologic events/features of each type.
- Ocean ocean Convergent, Two oceanic plates collide at ocean-ocean convergent
boundaries. In most cases, this convergence results in the production of certain geologic
structures and events.
- Ocean continent convergent, The collision of an oceanic plate with a continental plate
occurs at ocean-continent convergent borders. Certain geologic events and features are the
outcome of this confluence.
- Continent continent convergent, Continent-continent convergent boundaries involve the
collision of two continental plates. This convergence leads to specific geologic events and
features.
- Ocean Ocean Divergent,
At ocean-ocean divergent boundaries, tectonic plates are moving away from each other,
allowing magma to rise from the mantle and create new oceanic crust. This process is
known as seafloor spreading.
- Continent Continent Transform,
At continent-continent transform boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other
horizontally. This lateral movement results in specific geologic events and features

1. Igneous Rocks:
Process: Formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
Key Geological Process: Melting, cooling, and crystallization.
2. Sedimentary Rocks:
Process: Formed through the accumulation, compaction, and cementation of
sediments.
Key Geological Processes:
Weathering: Breakdown of rocks into smaller particles (sediment).
Erosion: Transportation of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity.
Deposition: Settling and accumulation of sediment in new locations.
Lithification: Compaction and cementation of sediment into rock.
3. Metamorphic Rocks:
Process: Formed from the alteration of pre-existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary,
or other metamorphic rocks) through heat, pressure, or chemically reactive fluids.
Key Geological Processes: Metamorphism involving recrystallization, foliation, or
the development of new minerals.

Volcanoes
- Lava flows, explosions, ash falls, pyroclastic flows, avalanches, and tsunamis
that can kill people and damage property.
- Toxic gas clouds, acidic plumes of vaporized seawater, and wildfires that can
harm health and the environment.
- Floods, mudslides, power outages, drinking water contamination, crop loss,
and changes to weather and climate that can affect economic activity and
habitats.
-
Seismographic detection of the earthquakes and tremor that almost always precede eruptions.
Precise measurements of ground deformation that often accompanies the rise of magma.
To reduce the impact of volcanic eruptions on humans and the environment, scientists called
volcanologists must be able to forecast when and where volcanoes are going to erupt.
