C) The belief that Earth's surface is made entirely of water
D) The theory that the Earth's core is made of molten rock

2. Which type of plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away
from each other?
A) Convergent boundary B) Divergent boundary
C) Transform boundary D) Subduction boundary
3. What typically forms at a convergent plate boundary between an oceanic
plate and a continental plate?
A) Rift valley B) Mid- Ocean ridge
C) Volcanic mountain D) Transform fault
4. What is the process called when one tectonic plate is forced under another?
A) Subduction B) Divergence
C) Convergence D) Transformation
5. The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of which type of plate
boundary?
A) Divergent boundary B) Convergent boundary
C) Transform boundary D) Subduction boundary

2. Establishing a purpose for the lesson/ Presenting examples of the new lesson
The teacher will display a picture of an extinct animals and they will identify the
names of the animals presented. Answer the following questions.

1. Can you identify all of them?


2. Which among these animals can provide a piece of evidence to support the
movements of continents over time?

3. Developing mastery
 Paleontological evidence.
 Evidence From Glaciation

Discussion Method: Deductive Method

4. Finding practical applications of concepts and skills in daily living


Group activity – The students will be divided into four groups. Each group will
provide a clay (three colors), illustration board, and fish bones. The students will
make a three-layer landmass. The students will place the fish bones at various
location around the landmass. Then, they will break the landmass into five big parts
and two smaller components.

5. Making generalizations and abstractions about the lesson


 What is magnetic reversal?
 What does paleontological evidences tell us about plate tectonics theory?
 What does the evidence from glaciation tell us about plate tectonic theory?
6. Evaluating learning
Quiz
1. What do you call the process by which the north pole becomes a south pole and
the south pole becomes a north pole, also known as the “flip”?
a. Magnetic reversal b. Magnetic theory

c. Magnetic pole d. Magnetic lands


2. Who is the French scientist that used identical plant fossils discovered in coal beds
in Europe and the United States to support his theory in continental drift?
a. Anthony Nider Pallergini b. Peter Spider Pllergini
c. Antonio Snider Pellegrini d. Antonio Noah
3. Who is the Australian scientist described how plants in Late Paleozoic coal beds
in India, Australia, South Africa, and South America were all similar?
a. Eduard Collins b. Edward Sanchez c. Edward Anthony d. Eduard Suess
4. What are the two land dwelling reptiles that lived during the Triassic Period and
their fossils have been discovered on various continents?
a. Mammoth and Lion b. Lystrosaurus and Cynognathus
c. Butterfly and Bees d. Crocodile and Kangaroos

B. Current temperature readings in the Arctic
C. Satellite images of hurricanes
D. Tree rings from living trees

3. How do glacial deposits provide evidence for plate tectonics?


A. By showing that glaciers have always been in the same location
B. By indicating that continents were once positioned differently
C. By providing information on the depth of the oceans
D. By recording the migration patterns of animals

4. What is a glacial striation, and what does it tell us about past glaciation? A.

B. Scratches on rocks caused by moving glaciers, showing the direction of
glacial movement
