    1. The document provides instructions for an activity to analyze maps showing the distribution of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges. Students are asked to cut out and overlay the maps and observe the relationships between these features. 2. When overlaying the maps, students notice that earthquake epicenters, volcanoes, and mountain ranges are closely situated in the same areas. 3. After the activity, students realize that scientists divide the Earth's surface into tectonic plates based on observing that earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains are located along plate boundaries.

    PERFORMANCE TASK 1

    SCIENCE 10
    GROUP NUMBER: ________________ SECTION: ________________________
    MEMBERS: DATE: _________________________

    Remember Where The Edges Meet

    What you need:


    - separate sheet of paper - ball pen
    - loose sheet of maps of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain ranges (page 9 for
    cutting)
    - Small world map (page 11) - scissors
    - bright light source (sunlight, lamp, flashlight or cellphone flash)

    What you have to do:


    1. Get a separate sheet of paper for your answers and observation. Do not copy the questions, just write your answer or
    observations.
    2. Study Map 1 (Distribution of Earthquakes) on page 9 (loose page) that shows the earthquake distribution around the
    world. The dark areas are the earthquake epicenters. Take note of the areas where they are closely situated.
    Answer the following questions:
    a. How are earthquakes distributed on the map? ___________________________
    b. Where are they situated? _______________________________________________
    c. Look at your world map on page 11 and compare the earthquake epicenters. Name the country/ies where
    earthquakes may not happen.
    _________________________________________________________________________
    d. Why are there no earthquakes on the country/ies you mentioned?
    _________________________________________________________________________
    3. Study Map 2 (Earth’s Major Volcanoes) on page 8. Take note that the dark dots are the active volcanoes.
    e. How are volcanoes distributed? _________________________________________
    f. Where are they situated? ________________________________________________
    g. Based on the map, which country/ies will unlikely experience a volcanic eruption?
    ______________________________________________________________
    4. Cut Map 1 and Map 2 along the edges (page 9). Place Map 1 (Earthquakes) over Map 2 (Volcanoes).
    NOTE: Remember to place the edges of the continents of each map exactly on
    top of each other.
    5. Bring the maps over any of the bright source of light available (ceiling lamp, sunlight, flashlight/cellphone light).
    Make sure you can see where the dark areas and dots are.
    h. How do you compare the location of majority of earthquake epicenters with the location of volcanoes around the
    world?
    _________________________________________________________________________
    6. Study Map 3 (Mountain Chains), the coarse and darker areas are the mountain ranges of the world.
    7. Cut Map 3 along the edges (page 9). Place it under Map1 and Map 2. NOTE: Read first the descriptions below each
    arrow, then cut these maps individually along the dotted lines.
    8. Bring the maps over any bright source of light available.
    i. How will you relate the distribution of mountain ranges with the distribution of earthquake epicenters and
    volcanoes?
    __________________________________________________________________________
    9. Now that you have seen the location of volcanoes, mountain ranges, and majority of earthquake epicenters, study
    Figure 1 on page 5 (Map of Moving Plates) once more.
    j. What do you think is the basis of scientists in dividing Earth’s lithosphere into several plates?
