What I need to know

In this particular lesson,

you will learn about the
three types of Transform
plate boundaries.

LESSON 1 – Transform Plate Boundary (Day 1)

Objectives: At the end of this module, learners will be able to:
1. determine the three types of Transform plate boundaries, and
2. describe the three types of Transform plate boundaries.

What I Know

TRUE or FALSE: Write T, if the statement is true and F, if it is false.

1. The type of transform plate boundaries known as an underwater mountain

range formed by plate tectonics is called Ridge trench.
2. Island arc is formed when one tectonic plate slides beneath another at Ridge
trench boundaries.
3. Trench – trench is a type of boundary where two or more earth’s tectonic
plates
meet.
4. Pushing of denser to lighter plates occur at trench – trench boundaries where
the seafloor and outermost crust will bend forming V-shaped.

1
5. Lava is created caused by convection currents when two tectonic plates meet
at divergent boundary.
 6. Plates are adjacent to each other, a new type of boundary is manifested and
that is the transform fault boundary.
7. Divergent plates has two sets of plates that move in opposite direction.
8. Most of transform faults join two segments of a mid-ocean ridge.
9. The presence of ridge is an indication of diverging plates.
10.The ocean diverge between two segments of the mid-ocean ridge when the
adjacent slabs of crust are grinding past each other.
11. Although most of transform faults are located within the ocean basins, some
are cut through the continental crust, such as San Andreas Fault.
12. Immediate concerns about transform fault boundaries are earthquake
activities triggered by movements along the fault system.
13. Majority of tectonic activities like earthquakes, mountain formation, and
volcanic activities happen along or near plate boundaries.
14. Some tectonic activities take place in the middle of a plate, such as Hawaii
islands, situated at the pacific plate.
15. Tectonic activities could only happen within the plate and not
along the boundaries.

What’s In

Divergent plate boundary – is a linear feature that exists between tectonic plates
that are moving away from each other. It is within continents which initially
produce rifts and eventually become rift valleys.

What’s New
What is Transform Plate Boundary?
Transform fault or transform boundary is a fault along a plate boundary where
the motion is predominantly horizontal, two plates are sliding past each other,
this forms a transform plate boundary.Natural or human-made structures that cross
a transform boundary are offset – split into pieces and carried in opposite directions.
Rocks that line the boundary are pulverized as the plates grind along, creating linear
fault valley or undersea canyon.

2. The motion of plates in Trench-Trench Transform Fault is_____________.
3. The motion of plates in Ridge-Trench Transform Fault is _____________.

What’s More

Three types of Transform Plate Boundaries Formation.

1. Ridge-Ridge Boundaries – A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an
underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean
floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust
and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

4
2. Trench-Trench Boundaries – trenches are formed by a subduction, a
geophysical processes in which two or more of Earth’s tectonic plates converge and
the older, denser plate is pushed beneath the lighter plate and deep into the mantle,
causing the seafloor and outermost crust (the lithosphere) to bend and form a steep,
V-shaped depression.
3. Ridge-Trench Boundaries - trench is a deep elongated cavity bordering a
continent or an island arc; it forms when one tectonic plate slides beneath another.
Ridge is underwater mountain range that criss-crosses the oceans and is formed by
rising magma in a zone where two plates are moving apart.

plate boundaries and what
causes motion in transform
plate boundaries.
LESSON 2– Types of Transform Plate Boundary (Day 2)
Objectives: At the end of this module, learners will be able to:
1. compare and contrast the three types of transform plate boundaries, and
2. find out what causes the motion in transform plate boundaries.

What I Know

TRUE or FALSE: Write T, if the statement is true and F, if it is not.

1 Extensive graphing of seafloor volcanoes in the pacific revolved a chain of
. volcanic structures extending from the Hawaiian Islands to midway islands.

2 When sociologist determined the age of each volcanic island through

. radiometric dating, they noticed that the farther the volcano from its location,
the older and less active it is.

3. Scientist suggest that there is a source of molten materials from the mantle
called mantle plume that formed the volcanic island chains.
4. As the Pacific plate moves, different parts of it will be on top of the mantle
plume to receive the molten materials, thus creating the volcanic islands.
5. Continuing plate movement eventually carries the island beyond the hot
spot, cutting if off from the magma source, and volcanism will come to an
end.
6. As one island mountain becomes extinct, another develops over the hot
spot, and the cycle is repeated.
7. Transform boundary moves predominantly horizontal.
8. Scientist suggest that over million years, a long trail of volcanic islands was
formed and seamounts across the Pacific Ocean floor.
9. According to the plate tectonic model, the entire lithosphere of the Earth is
broken into numerous segments called plates.
 10 Each tectonic plate is slowly but continuously moving.
.
11 As a result of the motion of the plates, three types of plate boundaries,
. namely
Pangea, Continental Drift and Seafloor Spreading.
12 Transform boundary is formed when plates move apart, creating a zone of
. Tension.
13 Convergent boundary is present when two plates collide.
.
14 Transform fault is characterized by plates that are sliding past each other.
.
15 Plate tectonics give rise to several geologic features and events.
.

What’s In

In the past lesson, you have learned about the three types of transform
plate boundaries, namely:
1. Ridge – Ridge Boundary - also known as gravitational sliding or sliding plate
force is a proposed driving force for plate motion in plate tectonics that occurs
at mid-ocean ridges as the result of the rigid lithosphere sliding down the hot,
raised asthenosphere below mid-ocean ridges.

9
2. Ridge- Trench Boundary – a type of fault in which two tectonic plates slide
past one another. A transform fault may occur in the portion of a fracture zone
that exists between different offset spreading center or that connects spreading
center to deep -sea trenches in subduction zones.
3. Trench – Trench Boundary – deep trenches are often formed when tectonic
plates are being subducted and earthquakes are common. As the sinking plate
moves deeper into the mantle, fluids are released from the rock causing the
overlying mantle to partially melt.

What’s New
 Transform fault or transform boundary is a fault along a plate boundary where
the motion is predominantly horizontal, two plates are sliding past each other, this
forms a transform plate boundary.Natural or human-made structures that cross a
transform boundary are offset – split into pieces and carried in opposite directions.
Rocks that line the boundary are pulverized as the plates grind along, creating linear
fault valley or undersea canyon.

What Is It

Transform boundaries are areas where the Earth’s plates move past each
other, rubbing along the edges. As the plates slide across from each other, they
neither create land nor destroy it. Because of this, the are sometimes referred to as
conservative boundaries. The main driving force of plate tectonics is gravity. If a
plate with oceanic lithosphere dives beneath the other plate and sinks into the
mantle. This process is called subduction.

MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE: Write True, if the underline word/s is/are true and if it
is false, change the underline word/s to make the statement true.
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. This happens at
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 descends, it is forced into higher
temperature movements. This occur at oceanic -oceanic convergent plate
boundary.
8. At an ocean-ocean convergent boundary, one of the plates (oceanic crust and
Lithospheric mantle) is pushed, subducted, under the other.
9. Often it is the older and colder plate 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 smash together and create mountains. This phenomenon
occurs at continental-continental convergent plate boundary.
11. Convergent boundaries are consist of tectonic plates moving opposite each
other.
12. Convergent boundaries will not create earthquakes.
13. Earthquakes occur at plate collision zones is the least powerful one.
