This is the Earth and Life Science Quarter 1 Module 10 self-learning module for Senior High School, “Movements of Plates and Formation of Folds and Faults.” It is an Alternative Delivery Mode module (First Edition, 2021) from DepEd Region 4A CALABARZON. It explains the three types of plate movement and the landforms each one creates, from trenches and volcanic arcs to mid-ocean ridges, folds, and faults.
What learners will learn
After going through this module, learners are expected to:
- Identify the three types of plate movements from a short excerpt.
- Expound the three types of plate movement based on plate tectonics theory, using an illustration.
- Cite specific examples of landforms as outcomes of plate movement.
Lessons in this module
The module has one lesson, Lesson 1: Movements of Plates and Formation of Folds and Faults. Learners explain how plate movement leads to folds and faults through a series of activities, with a discussion of plate movement to refer to while working.
The three types of plate movement
Plate boundaries are the regions where plates meet. The module says they matter because the lithosphere (the Earth’s crust and uppermost mantle) is deformed along them.
| Type of boundary | How the plates move | Landforms and examples from the module |
|---|---|---|
| Divergent | Plates pull apart, moving in opposite directions | Mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge; new oceanic crust forms here |
| Convergent | Plates move toward each other and collide | Trenches, mountains, and volcanic arcs, such as the Marianas Trench and the Himalayas |
| Transform (strike-slip) | Plates slide past each other horizontally | Faults such as the San Andreas Fault in California |
Divergent boundaries
Most divergent boundaries lie on the ocean floor. There they form a continuous chain of volcanic mountains and rifts called mid-ocean ridges. As the plates separate, magma wells up to fill the gap. This is why these boundaries have volcanic activity and why the Earth’s crust grows there. The process that creates new seafloor this way is called seafloor spreading.
Convergent boundaries
When plates move toward each other, the heavier oceanic crust sinks below the lighter continental crust. This sinking is called subduction. The Marianas Trench marks where the fast-moving Pacific Plate meets the slower Philippine Plate. The result depends on what collides:
- Oceanic crust with oceanic crust: a chain of volcanic islands, such as Indonesia.
- Oceanic crust with a continental plate: a chain of volcanoes on the continent, such as the Cascades in the Pacific Northwest of the US and the Andes of South America.
- Continental crust with continental crust: a mountain range, such as the Himalayas.
Major volcanoes, such as Mount Fuji in Japan, are often found along these boundaries.
Transform boundaries
At a transform (strike-slip) boundary, plates slide past each other horizontally. The best-known example is the San Andreas Fault Zone. It is about 1,300 km long and tens of kilometers wide, and it cuts through two-thirds of the length of California. The Pacific Plate has moved along it for 10 million years at an average of about 5 cm a year.
Folds, faults, and a changing Earth
The module defines two key terms:
- Fold: forms when a flat surface of rock is bent or curved.
- Fault: a fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rocks.
Other terms learners meet include a valley (a low area between hills or mountains), a ridge (a chain of mountains), and a volcanic arc (a chain of volcanoes formed from subducting plates). When three plates meet in one place, they form a triple junction. The absolute motion of plates can produce strings of volcanoes.
Plate movement is still changing the planet. The Pacific Ocean is getting smaller. The Atlantic Ocean is growing as North and South America move away from Europe and Africa. The Himalayas are getting taller as India’s plate collides with Asia. The plate carrying Australia is starting to collide with the plate carrying Southeast Asia, while Australia moves farther from Antarctica.
How to use this module
The module follows the usual self-learning module order:
- What I Know: a 15-item pretest to check what you already know.
- What’s In: cross out the words not related to plate tectonics, then explain the rest in your own words.
- What’s New: read a short excerpt and draw the three types of plate movement (10 points).
- What is It: complete a plate tectonics diagram and read about the three boundaries.
- What’s More: a crossword puzzle (Activity A), a short paragraph (Activity B, 5 points), correcting a mixed-up table of boundaries (Activity C), and Read! Ask! Respond! questions (Activity D).
- What I Have Learned and What I Can Do: identify terms from a word pool, then relate the lesson to your own area and to everyday life.
- Assessment: a 15-item post-test.
- Additional Activities: interview family members about how mountains, valleys, ridges, and volcanoes form, then share what you learned through a flyer or a vlog.
For learners: Write your answers on a separate sheet or in your notebook, not on the module. Check your work with the answer key at the end, and be honest when you use it.
For parents: Help your child with the family interview in the Additional Activities, and encourage them to ask the teacher when a task is unclear.
For teachers: The Notes to the Teacher suggest a sequence of extend, explore, explain, enable, and evaluate, and remind you to have learners collect their scores. Rubrics are given for Activity B and the Additional Activities.

Lesson 1 – Movements of Plates and Formation of Folds and Faults
This module contains topics about plate movement leading to the formation of folds and faults. Students must explain how the movement of plates leads to the formation of folds and faults by doing different activities included in this module. Likewise, a discussion on the concept about plate movement is available for the students’ reference in doing each activity incorporated in the procedure.

What’s New
Read and analyze the excerpt. Identify the three indicated types of plate movement. Illustrate it on the box provided below (10 points).
TYPE OF PLATE BOUNDARIES
Studying plate boundaries is important because along these boundaries, the deformation of the lithosphere is happening. Divergent plate movement occurs when plates pull apart from each other. When two (2) plates diverge, pieces from such plates sink towards the Earth’s mantle. On the other hand, convergent movement occurs when plates crush into each other and land crumples, forming trenches and mountains. Lateral or transform fault movement occurs when plates move alongside each other in different directions.

What is It
A. Read and analyze the diagram below which will provide you background information on plate boundaries.
Transform Plate Boundary
It is also called as strike slip fault boundary, the plates slide past each other horizontally. This is a type of boundary that cuts through California, the well-known San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault Zone, which is about 1300 km long and is tens of kilometer wide, slice through two thirds of the length of California. Along with it, the Pacific Plate has been moving for 10 million years, at an average rate of about 5 cm/yr (Pavico and Faraon, 2007, 193).
Convergent Plate Boundary
The heavier oceanic crust sinks below the lighter continental crust. It happens along convergent boundaries where plates are moving toward each other and sometimes one plate sinks under another (subduction). Marianas Trench marks where the fast-moving Pacific Plate converges against the slower moving Philippine Plate. This boundary is often where major volcanoes such as Mount Fuji in Japan can be located. In a collision of two pieces of oceanic crust, the result is a chain of volcanic islands, of which Indonesia is a prime example. Where oceanic crust collides with a plate carrying the continent, the result is a chain of volcanoes on the continent, such as the Cascade of volcanic chain in Pacific Northwest of the US and the Andes Mountains of South America. When two continental crusts collide, the result is a range of mountains such as the Himalayan Mountain (Pavico and Faraon, 2007, 193-194).
What’s More
Activity A: Crossword Puzzle
Fill out the crossword puzzle with the correct terms using the given clues.
Divergent Plate Boundary
Divergent Plate Boundaries are boundaries where the earth’s tectonic plates are moving apart. For the most part, these boundaries are located on the ocean floors, where they form a continuous chain of volcanic mountains and rift called mid-ocean ridges that extend throughout the earth’s oceans. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a good example, which runs down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. As the plates move apart, magma wells up to fill the space between them, and this is why divergent plate boundaries are the sites of volcanic activity. It is also a set where the earth’s crust is growing (Pavico and Faraon, 2007, 194).

Activity D: READ! ASK! RESPOND!
Read and analyze the diagram below. Take note of some important details which will be used in the next activities and questions.
READ
Plates move relative to each other and to fixed locations in the mantle of the Earth. The absolute motion of the plates can lead to the formation of strings of volcanoes. On the other hand, their relative motion can lead to the different types of plate boundaries. If three plates meet in one place, they form a triple junction (Kasten 2012, 241)
ASK
- What motion or movement can lead to the formation of strings of volcanoes?
- What will be formed if the three plate boundaries meet in one place?
RESPOND
READ
Currently, the size of oceans and shape of continents are changed due to the movement of plates. Because of the movement of plates in North and South America, the Pacific Ocean is becoming smaller. However, the Atlantic Ocean is becoming larger as North and South America move away from Europe and Africa. The Himalayas Mountains are becoming taller. The plate that includes Australia is now beginning to collide with the plate that includes Southeast Asia. India’s plate is also colliding with Asia, while Australia is moving farther away from Antarctica (Kasten 2012, 241).
ASK
- What will happen to the Pacific Ocean if the North and South American Plates continue to move to the west?
- What caused the enlargement of the Atlantic Ocean?
- What will happen to the Himalayas Mountains when two large landmasses, Eurasia and India driven by plate movement and collide?
RESPOND

From the word pool given below, identify the term being described in the following statements.
__________1. This phenomenon is created during transformation of plate’s movement, and it is a kinematic phenomenon caused by the relative density of oceanic lithosphere and relative weakness of asthenosphere.
__________2. This plate’s movement creates mountain and volcanic arc. Marianas Trench is also created by this movement.
__________3. The movement of this plate is towards the opposite direction or moving away from each other.
