2. OBJECTIVES
This Strategic Learning Material will focused on “Plate
Boundary Convergence—types, geologic features and events”.
At the end of this intervention, learners are expected to
accomplish the following objectives;
1. Identify the characteristics of a Convergent plate boundary
movement.
2. Recognize the different types of plate convergence
3. Predict the possible geologic formations found on plate convergence.
4. Give the possible geological phenomena occur on plate convergence.
GUIDE CARD 1

3. LEAST LEARNED CONCEPT
• Explain the different processes that occur
along the “convergent” plate boundaries.

GUIDE CARD 2

4. OVERVIEW
Plate boundaries are the line between two different plates—and
they are in constant movement!
There are three types of Plate Tectonic Boundaries which are
classified according to plate movements—the Divergent, the
Transform fault and the CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARIES.
Plate movements contribute to the formation of geologic
features and occurrence of different geological phenomena.
Types of crust (oceanic or continental) is a factor to be consider
in predicting geologic formations on convergence boundaries.

13. QUAKE-IT-OFF!
Convergence of plate boundaries cause movement of crust that can bring harsh and
destructive earthquakes. Being part of a converging plate, the Philippines is prone
to many earthquake attacks.
The government invested lots of effort to instill preparedness on earthquake
emergencies among Filipino students.
What are the things we need to do BEFORE, DURING and AFTER EARTHQUAKES?
