Activity 3: Head-On Collision PART B: Convergence of Two Oceanic Plates Procedure

This document contains questions from an activity about the convergence of two oceanic plates. When oceanic plates converge: 1) Subduction zones will form where one plate slides under the other; 2) Trenches, volcanic island arcs, and mountain ranges may form on the top plate as a result of subduction; and 3) If the edge of the top plate suddenly rises, a tsunami could form at the ocean surface.

ACTIVITY 3: HEAD-ON COLLISION


PART B: Convergence of Two Oceanic Plates
Procedure:
1. Study Figure 11. It shows a cross-section of two converging oceanic plates.
2. Using your knowledge gained from the previous activity, identify the geologic events or features
resulting from this collision.

Q21: What are the geologic processes/events that will occur because of this movement?

Q22: What geologic features might form at the surface of Plate A?

Q23: If the edge of Plate A suddenly flicks upward, a large amount of water may be displaced. What could be
formed at the surface of the ocean?
3. Figure 2 shows the convergence of different plate that led to the formation of the Philippine
archipelago.

Q24: What are the different plates responsible for the development of the Philippine archipelago?

Q25. Explain the formation of the Philippine archipelago 65 million years ago.

Q26. Identify the different landforms and processes formed in the Philippine Mobile belt.
