VOLCANO AND ITS RELATION TO PLATE TECTONICS
LESSON 3: DISTRIBUTION OF
VOLCANOES
BY: TEACHER ANNA LIZA D. GOMEZ-JUNIO
OBJECTIVES
1. I can identify the distribution of
volcanoes in the Philippines and around the
world.
2. I can explain its distribution to plate
tectonic theory.
ELICIT – LET’S RECALL!
What is crust?
What is Pacific Ring of Fire?
CRUST
Composed of tectonic plates that move either:
away, past, and toward each other
Since most volcanoes are formed along the plate boundaries, it is
expected that many active volcanoes are formed along with them.
PACIFIC RING OF FIRE
Philippines is situated along with it
Comprises the tectonic boundaries of Pacific Plate,
Philippine Plate, Eurasian Plate, Juan de Fuca and
Cocos Plates, and the Nazca Plate.
ENGAGE Let us view this video on how the volcanoes are formed.
EXPLORE
In the Philippines, volcanoes and volcanic activities are classified
and monitored by the Philippines Institute of Volcanology and
Seismology (PHIVOLCS). PHIVOLCS classified the volcanoes
in the Philippines according to its eruptive history. There are three
classifications of volcanoes in the Philippines according to
PHIVOLCS.

Moves toward
each other
CONVERGENT BOUNDARY

CONVERGENT BOUNDARY
What happened

The denser plate will
sink to the mantle.

GROUP SHARING
LET’S ELABORATE
ACTIVITY – DATA READING
Directions:
Group yourselves with 4 members. Given the data in table and from the reports of
your classmates, answer the following questions. Write your answers in 1 whole
sheet of paper.
1. Identify the active volcanoes across the Philippine archipelago. Which among the
three major island groups in the Philippines (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) has the
greatest number of active volcanoes? Potentially active volcanoes?
2. In the global scale, is there a relationship between the formation of volcanoes and
the tectonic plates? Briefly describe their relationship.
LET’S ELABORATE
GENERALIZATION
When the tectonic plates move apart , it is diverge,
that will lead to formation of new land masses,
with volcanic activities. When the plates move
towards each other, it is converge, then the plate
that sinks or subduct will melt in the mantle with
volcanoes occurs.
LET’S EVALUATE
Post-Assessment
Choose the correct
answer among the given
options on each item.
Shade your answer in the
answer sheet given.

ten locations where notable
volcanoes are found across the
globe.
