Given the necessary materials, at the end of the
period, 75 % of the students will be able to
a. explain the processes that occur along continental-
oceanic Converging boundaries
b. determine the geologic features that are formed
and events that takes place when continental-
oceanic plates converges
c. appreciate nature as geologic features are formed
from movement of plates.

MAP OF PLATE BOUNDARIES
1. What type of
plate is Plate A?
What about Plate
B? Why did you
say so?
2. Describe
what happens
to Plate A as it
collides with
Plate B? Why
does this
happen?
Plate A bends downward because Plate A is
denser than Plate B.
 Trench,
which is a
depression
on the
ocean

The sinking of plate beneath the other plate is

called subduction.
3. What do you
think will happen to
the leading edge of
Plate A as it
continues to
move downward?
Why
The leading edge
of Plate A will
start to melt
because the
temperature
beneath the crust
(mantle) is higher.
4. What do you call this molten
material?
 This
molten
material is
called
magma.
5. What geologic
feature is formed
on top of Plate
B? How do you
think this is
formed?
Volcanoes
are formed
on top of
Plate B.
6. As the plates continue to
grind against each other, what
other geologic event could take
place?
 Earthquake
could take place
as the plates
continue to
grind against
each
other.
 Supply the missing
word in each statement.
1. During continental –
oceanic plate convergence,
oceanic plate ________
under continental plate.
2. Oceanic crust goes under
continental crust because it
is denser.
3. During subduction, a
deepest part of the ocean is
formed which is called a
_____________ .
4. When oceanic plate
subducts, the leading edge
of the plate _____ due to
high temperature under.
5. The molten plate will
become a hot, less dense
material which is called
______.
6. As the plates continue to
grind against each other,
______ could take place.
Enumeration
7-8. Geologic features that
are formed during oceanic
continental convergence.
Enumeration
9. Geologic event / activity
that occur during oceanic
continental convergence.
True or False.
10. It is impossible to form
volcanoes when a
continental plate and
oceanic plate converges.
