#1 (EXPLAIN) 1. How are earthquakes distributed on the map?
Answer:
E. Discussing the Earthquakes are not randomly scattered; they are mostly
new concepts and found along the edges of tectonic plates. These areas
practicing new skills
#2 (EXPLAIN) are known as plate boundaries, and many earthquakes
occur there because plates are moving, colliding, or
sliding past one another.
2. Where are they located?
Answer:
Most earthquakes are located:] Around the Pacific Ring
of Fire (e.g., Japan, Philippines, Chile, California)
3. Why is it important for us to identify areas which are
prone to earthquakes?
Answer:
It’s important because It helps us prepare and reduce
damage by building earthquake-resistant structures.
4. How are volcanoes distributed?
Answer:
Like earthquakes, volcanoes are mostly found:
Along plate boundaries,
especially convergent and divergent ones. Around
the Pacific Ring of Fire
5. What do you think is the basis of scientists in dividing
Earth’s lithosphere into several plates?
Answer:
The pattern of earthquake and volcano activity. The
shape and movement of continents and ocean floors.

formative
assessment) Question: How will you relate the distribution of
(ELABORATE) mountain ranges with the distribution of earthquake
epicenters and volcanoes?
Answer:
Mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanoes are often
found in the same areas because They are all formed
by tectonic plate movement. When
plates collide (converge), they can form mountains and
cause earthquakes. If one plate goes under another
(subduction), it can create volcanoes too

Question:
Based on what you know about tectonic plates and earthquake
boundaries, which location should the city planner avoid when building
the hospital?
A) A location far from any known tectonic plate boundaries with little
earthquake activity.
B) A location directly on a tectonic plate boundary where many
earthquakes have been recorded.
C) A location near a river but away from tectonic plate boundaries.
D) A location on flat land close to existing roads and infrastructure,
regardless of earthquake risk.
Answer:
B) A location directly on a tectonic plate boundary where many
earthquakes have been recorded.
