What you have to do:
1. Get a separate sheet of paper for your answers and observation. Do not copy the questions, just write
your answers or observations.
2. Study Map 1 (Distribution of Earthquakes) on page 8 that shows the earthquake distribution around the
world. The dark areas are the earthquake epicenters.
Take note of the areas where they are closely situated. Answer the following questions:
a. How are earthquakes distributed on the map?
b. Where are they situated?
c. Look at your world map on page 9 and compare the earthquake epicenters. Name the country/ies where
earthquakes may not happen.
d. Why are there no earthquakes on the country/ies you mentioned?
3. Study Map 2 (Earth's Major Volcanoes) on page 8. Take note that the dark dots are the active volcances.
e. How are volcanoes distributed?
f. Where are they situated?
g. Based on the map, which country/ies will unlikely experience a volcanic eruption?
4. NOTE: To be able to perform this activity, you need cutouts of the maps on page 8. Your subject teacher
may or may not be able to send you a photocopy of this page so you may either ask your home facilitator to
photocopy it for you or you may trace each map on a clean sheet of bond paper.
Cut your photocopied/traced Map 1 and Map 2 along the edges Place Map 1 (Earthquakes) over Map 2
(Volcanoes).
NOTE: Remember to place the edges of the continents of each map exactly on top of each other.
5. Bring the maps over any of the bright source of light available (ceiling lamp, sunlight, flashlight/cellphone
light). Make sure you can see where the dark areas and dots are.
h. How do you compare the location of majority of earthquake epicenters with the location of volcanoes
around the world?
6. Study Map 3 (Mountain Chains), the coarse and darker areas are the mountain ranges of the world.
7. Cut your photocopied/traced Map 3 along the edges. Place it under Map1 and Map 2.
NOTE: Read first the descriptions below each arrow, then cut these maps individually along the dotted
es.
. Bring the maps over any bright source of light available.
i. How will you relate the distribution of mountain ranges with the distribution of earthquake epicenters
nd volcanoes?
Now that you have seen the location of volcanoes, mountain ranges, and majority of earthquake
icenters, study Figure 1 on page 5 (Map of Moving Plates) once more.
What do you think is the basis of scientists in dividing Earth's lithosphere into several plates?
