 Lesson
EARTH AND SPACE
Convergent Plate Boundaries
1

What I Need To Know

In this particular lesson, you will

learn about the three types of
Convergent plate boundaries.

Objectives: At the end of this module, you will be able to:

1. describe the convergent plate boundaries; and
2. identify the three types of convergent plate boundaries.

What I Know

TRUE OR FALSE: Write T, if the statement is true and F, if the statement is false.
1. The converging oceanic plates will cause formation of trenches and eventually
become the sources of an earthquake.
2. Underwater earthquakes, especially the stronger ones, can generate
Tsunami.
3. Tsunami is a Japanese term for wave. It is a series of ocean waves with very
long wavelengths.
4. The leading edge of the subducted plate will eventually reach the mantle
causing it to melt and turn into magma.
5. The molten material will rise to the surface creating a volcanic island arc
parallel to the trench.
6. Volcanic island arc is a chain of volcanoes position in an arc shape.
7. The collision of two plates, with one of the plates diving under the ocean will
occur at the Oceanic – Oceanic Convergent plate boundary.
8. Majority of the islands in the Philippine Archipelago are considered as part of
the Philippines mobile belt.

1
 9. The Southern edge of the Philippines sea plate are considered as part of
island arcs.
10. In the Philippines, the highland sections of the Sundaland block of the
Eurasian plate includes Palawan, Mindoro and Zamboanga Peninsula.
11. Pandemic is a theory which suggest that Earth’s crust is made up of plates
that interact in various ways, thus producing earthquakes, mountains, and
volcanoes.
12. Developmental volcanic arc are mountains formed in part of igneous activity
associated with subduction of oceanic lithosphere beneath a continent.
13. Centennial crust is the thick part of the Earth’s crust, not located under the
ocean.
14. Trench crust is the thin part of the Earth’s crust located under the ocean.
15. The rigid sections of the lithosphere that move as a unit is called plateau.

What’s In

In the past lesson, you learned that mountain is formed due to various
geological processes like movement and opposition of tectonic plates. But, a volcano
is formed around a vent that allows magma to reach the surface of the earth. In the
Philippines there are three types of volcanoes, namely: Composite/Strato, Shield,
and Dome.
The Strato volcano shows towering peaks which rise hundreds to several
thousand meters above their surroundings. Another type of volcano is called Shield,
a broad domed volcano with gently sloping sides, characteristic of the eruption of
fluid basaltic lava. While Dome volcano is formed when lava reaching the Earth’s
surface is so viscous that it cannot flow away readily and accumulates around the
vent.

What’s New

In this module, you will learn Convergent plate boundary with two tectonic
plates collide towards each other, one plate eventually slides beneath the other, this
process is called subduction. Converging oceanic plates, will cause formation of
trenches, and these trenches will become 2 sources of earthquakes. The leading
edge of the subducted plate will eventually reach the mantle causing it to melt and
turn into magma.

2
 The molten material will rise to the surface creating a volcanic island arc
parallel to the trench. Volcanic island arc is a chain of volcanoes position in an arc
shape as shown in the Figure 1.1 below.

Fig. 1.1 Formation of a volcanic island arc

What Is It

The three types of convergent plate boundaries are: Oceanic-Continental,

Oceanic-Oceanic and Continent-Continent. In Oceanic-Continental, one plate is
oceanic, there are large volcanoes found in lines that outline the subduction zone.
Earthquakes also happen in these zones. For example, the Aleutian islands that
border southern Alaska are in island arc.
In addition, Ocean -ocean, one of the plates (oceanic crust and Lithospheric
mantle) is pushed, or subducted, under the other that mixes with the overlying
mantle, and the addition of water to the hot mantle lowers the crust’s melting point
that leads to the formation of magma.
Continental continental convergent plate are when two plates collide,
they have a density lower than the mantle which prevent subduction
(submersion of plates under each other) so they create mountains, such as
World Famous Himalaya Mountain Range.

16. When the earth is pushed up in both plates, converging activity took place in
Continental- Continental plate boundary.
17. Two oceanic plates meet up, one is pushed under the other, this plate

What’s In
In the previous lesson, you learned about Convergent plate
boundary with two tectonic plates colliding towards each other. One plate
eventually slides beneath the other, this process is called subduction.
Converging oceanic plates will cause formation of trenches and these
trenches will become sources of earthquakes. The leading edge of the
subducted plate will eventually reach the mantle causing it to melt and turn
into magma.

What’s New
Based on the figure 2.1, What are the movements of the three types of
convergent plate boundaries?

Fig. 2.1. Motion of Convergent plate boundary

 The three types of convergent plate boundaries are: Oceanic Continental
one plate is oceanic, there are large volcanoes found in lines that outline the
subduction zone. Earthquakes also happen in these zones. For example The
Aleutian islands that border southern Alaska are in island arc. In addition, Ocean -
ocean, one of the plates (oceanic crust and Lithospheric mantle) is pushed, or
subducted, under the other that mixes with the overlying mantle, and the addition of
water to the hot mantle lowers the crust’s melting point that leads to the formation
of magma. Continental continental convergent plate are when two plates
collide, they have a density lower than the mantle which prevent subduction
(submersion of plates under each other) so they create mountains, such as
World Famous Himalaya Mountain Range.

What Is It

Convergent boundary is an area on the Earth where two or more

lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other creating a
process called subduction. The subduction zone is known to be a plane wherein
many earthquakes happen.

What’s More

In this activity, you will describe the movement of plates in Convergent

boundary.
The three types of convergent plate boundaries:
1. Oceanic-Continental convergence – oceanic crust converges with continental
crust.
2. oceanic – oceanic convergence – the cooler, denser oceanic lithosphere sinks
beneath the warmer, less dense oceanic lithosphere.
3. continental-continental- a variation on fundamental process of subduction when
subduction zone is devastated.

Unit Test (Day 4)

TRUE OR FALSE; Write T, if the statement is true and F, if the statement is false.
1. The amazing Himalaya Mountains are the result of continental-continental
convergent plate boundary.
2. Large volcanoes can be found at oceanic-continental convergent plate
boundary along the outline of subduction zone.
3. Earthquakes will never occur in oceanic-continental convergent plate
boundary.
4. Ocean -ocean Convergent plate boundary can be described as one oceanic
crust and lithospheric mantle being pushed under the other.
5. Plate tectonic theory states that the earth’s outer shell is divided into several
plates that glide over the mantle.
6. When plate boundary collide, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate is
overridden by the thicker and less dense continental plate. It happened
during volcanic continental convergent plate boundary.
7. The oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle in a process known as
“subduction”. As the oceanic plate ascends, it is forced into higher
temperature movements. This occur at oceanic -oceanic convergent plate
boundary.
8. In Oceanic-Oceanic convergent boundary, one of the plates is pushed,
subducted, under the other.
9. Plate is often older and colder that is denser and subducts beneath the
younger and warmer plate.
10. Continental crust is too buoyant to subduct. When two continental plates
converge, they smashed together and create mountains. This phenomenon
occurs at continental-continental convergent plate boundary.
11. Convergent boundaries is conists of tectonic plates moving opposite each
other.
12. Convergent boundaries will not create earthquakes.
13. Earthquakes occur during plate collision zones is the least powerful one.
14. Convergent plate boundary shows movement of tectonic plates towards each
other.
15. Geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries forced one
plate to sink due to gravitational potential energy into the mantle.
