PRE-TEST: MULTIPLE CHOICES
Have you seen any of these features in our region?
Q1-Week 1-G10 Science Lesson Powerpoint presentation.
What Is Plate Tectonics?
Is a theory which suggests that Earth’s
crust is made up of plates that interact
with various ways, thus producing
earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes and
other geologic features.
-Earth’s lithosphere
Two Layers:
1.Crust
2.Upper part of the mantle
TWO KINDS OF CRUST  Thickest in a part where
a relatively young
mountains is present
 It has an average
density of 2.8 g/cm3
 Made of variety of solid
rocks like sedimentary,
metamorphic, and
igneous.
 Thickness ranges from 5
to 50 Km.
What is Plate?
-are rigid sections of the lithosphere that move as a unit.

GUIDE CONCEPTS
Mountain range-(mountain chain, mountain belt) is a geographic area with many mountains.
Major Ranges
1. Himalayas are one of the highest mountain ranges in the world, located in South
Asia.
2. The Andes is the longest mountain range in the world and boasts some of the
highest peaks.
3. Alps, a small segment of a discontinuous mountain chain that stretches from the
Atlas Mountains of North Africa across southern Europe and Asia to beyond the
Himalayas.
4. Rocky Mountains, byname the Rockies, mountain range forming the cordilleran
backbone of the great upland system that dominates the western North American
continent.
5. Ural Mountains, also called the Urals, Russian Uralskie Gory or Ural, mountain range
forming a rugged spine in west-central Russia and the major part of the traditional
physiographic boundary between Europe and Asia.
Activity 10. “MARK THE BOUNDARIES” (Major Mountain Belts)
Objective: Describe the distribution of major mountain belts.
Question:How will you relate the distribution of mountain ranges with the distribution of
earthquake epicenters and active volcanoes?
What I Can Do as a student?
•Since the Philippines is in the Pacific Ring of Fire, we
should always be ready and alert for we do not know
when or where the disasters may occur.
•Plan a precautionary measure when volcanic eruption or
earthquake occurs. Write in a sheet of paper and discuss
it with your family/classmate so everybody in the will
know it.

Composition of Earths Interior
The layers of Earth are:
•Crust - 5 to 70 km thick.
•Mantle - 2,900 km thick.
•Outer Core - 2,200 km thick.
•Inner Core - 1,230 to 1,530 km
thick.
⇒ This is the internal structure of the Earth
⇒ The outside of the Earth is the solid crust -
the crust is very thin with a maximum depth
of around 50km
⇒ Under the crust we have the mantle - this is
a solid, even though parts of the upper mantle
can flow very slowly
⇒ Under this we have the outer core (this is a
liquid) and the inner core (which is solid)
⇒ There is no way for scientists to directly
observe the interior of the Earth
•Even the deepest mines only go a few
kilometers into the crust
⇒ How do scientists know that the interior of
the earth has this structure? The answer is to
do with ___________
WEEK 2
Earthquakes ⇒ An earthquake happens due to
a sudden movement between the
tectonic plates in the Earth's crust
⇒ This causes seismic
waves which carry energy away
from the earthquake
Seismic Waves- The energy that
radiates in all directions from the
focus in the form of waves.
⇒ These seismic waves then pass
through the Earth and they can be
detected by seismometers
in different countries
⇒ The patterns of these waves gives
us information about
the interior of the Earth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za_22xo7ZQQ
TWO MAIN TYPES OF SEISMIC WAVES
1.Surface waves can only move
along the surface of the planet like
ripples on water.
1.Love Wave
 Named after A.E.H Love-British
Mathematician
 Faster than Rayleigh wave
 Moves the ground in a side to side
horizontal motion.
 Like of a snake’s causing the
ground to twist
 Cause the most damage to
structures during earthquake.
Propagation of Seismic Waves_ Love waves.mp4
TWO TYPES OF SURFACE WAVES
2. Rayleigh Wave
 Named after John William Strutt, 3rd
Baron Rayleigh ( Lord Rayleigh)
 Wave rolls along the ground just like a
wave rolls across a lake or an ocean.
 Moves the ground either up & down, or
side to side.
TWO MAIN TYPES OF SEISMIC WAVES
2.Body waves A seismic
wave that travels through the
Earth rather than across its
surface
TYPES OF BODY WAVES
⇒ P waves are longitudina waves. They
can pass through
both solids and liquids
⇒ P waves travel faster than S waves
⇒ S Waves are transverse waves (to
remember this, remember the word
'transverse' contains the letter S)
⇒ S waves can only travel
through solids
Patterns of P and S Waves
 Seismic waves travel in curved
paths. That is due to density
changes in the Earth
 We can detect S Waves at any point
on the Earth's surface where the S
Wave is spread across i.e. the
area not within the S wave shadow
zone
 There are large parts of the Earth
where no S waves can be
detected - this is called the S Wave
shadow zone
 This is due to the fact that S
waves cannot pass through a
liquid
 This told scientists that the Earth
must contain a liquid core
 Move backward and forward
 P waves can be detected over large parts of
the Earth except the P wave shadow zone
 Again, there are parts of the Earth where P
waves cannot be detected - these are
called P wave shadow zones
 The P wave shadow zones are due to the fact
that P waves travel faster in solids than
liquids
 This means that the P waves slow down as
they enter the liquid outer core. This
causes them to refract (i.e. change
direction). They also refract when
they leave the outer core.
 Once again this confirms that the outer
core is a liquid
 Sometimes faint P waves can be detected in
the P wave shadow zone - this was used by
scientisits to show that the Earth also
contains a solid inner core
 Sway from side to side in rolling motion
Patterns of P and S Waves
Seismic waves as they travel through the Earth
In 1909, Andrija Mohoroviciv
 Found out that the velocity of
seismic waves changes and
increases at a distance of 50km
below the Earth’s surface.
 MOHOROVICIC Discontinuity
(short term MOHO)-The boundary
between crust and mantle.
 GUTENBURG Discontinuity- the
boundary between mantle and core
 Named after Beno Gutenburg.
 He explained that the core
composed of material different from
that of the mantle causing the
bending of P waves
Seismic waves as they travel through the Earth
In 1936, Lehmann
 A Danish
Seismologist,who
predicted the
innermost layer of
the Earth
 He discovered a new
region of seismic
reflection within the
core.
 So, the Earth has a
core within a core
(The outer core and
the inner core)
WHAT’S IN US?
Procedure:
Compare and contrast the
Primary (P) waves and
Secondary (S) waves.
Complete the Venn diagram
below by writing their
characteristics on their
corresponding column and
their similarities on the
specified column.
ANSWER KEY
Primary or P-Waves-
 The fastest kind of
waves, thus arrive at
the seismic stations
first.
 Can travel through
liquid and solids and
gases,
Secondary or S-Waves-
 Slower than the P-
waves.
 Only travel through
solids.
Both P and S waves
travel into the Earth’s
interior.

  • 43. ANSWER KEY Primary or P-Waves-  The fastest kind of waves, thus arrive at the seismic stations first.  Can travel through liquid and solids and gases, Secondary or S-Waves-  Slower than the P- waves.  Only travel through solids. Both P and S waves travel into the Earth’s interior.
  • 45. ANSWER KEY BODY WAVES SURFACE WAVES The energy that radiates in all directions from the focus in the form of waves. LOVE WAVES RAYLEIGH WAVES PRIMARY WAVES SECONDARY WAVES Move side to side in horizontal motion. up & down, or side to side. Move backward and forward Sway from side to side in rolling motion

Editor's Notes

  • #39: Note: ⇒ Scientists have measured seismic waves from thousands of earthquakes ⇒ They have used these to work out the thickness of the crust and mantle and outer and inner cores
  • #40: Because of this study it leds to the idea that there is a difference in density between crust and mantle.
  • #41: Because of this study it leds to the idea that there is a difference in density between crust and mantle.
  • #47: NEXT: LET’S EXPLORE THE VARIOUS EFFECTS OF PLATE TECTONICS ON LITHOSPHERE
