play07:26

earth's mantle

play07:27

the 100 kilometer thick layer of solid

play07:29

rock including the crust

play07:32

is called the lithosphere the upper

play07:36

mantle that lies beneath the lithosphere

play07:38

is called the asthenosphere the

play07:40

asthenosphere is also solid

play07:43

but the rock here is softer due to high

play07:45

pressure and high temperatures

play07:48

in some ways the consistency of the

play13:48

mountains and volcanoes

play13:51

plate movements may result in

play13:53

earthquakes and earthquakes may happen

play13:56

any time either on land or underwater

play14:00

earthquakes on land can be caused either

play14:02

by tectonic plate movement

play14:04

or volcanic eruptions earthquakes under

play14:07

the sea can cause a tsunami

play14:10

according to experts it is estimated

play14:13

that there are 500 000 detectable

play14:15

earthquakes in the world each year

play14:18

one hundred thousand of those can be

play14:19

felt and one hundred of them can cause

play14:22

damage

play14:23

our country the philippines is situated

play14:25

in a place where plate tectonics are

play14:27

very evident

play14:29

the ring of fire it is a long chain of

play14:32

volcanoes and other

play14:33

tectonically active structures that

play14:36

surround the pacific ocean

play14:38

the ring of fire is one of the most

play14:40

geologically active areas on earth

play14:43

and a site for frequent earthquakes and

play14:45

powerful volcanic eruptions

play14:47

did you know that the ring of fire is

play14:49

also called as the circum-pacific belt

play14:52

and about 90 percent of the world's

play14:54

earthquakes occur there

play14:57

to better understand this let us perform

play15:00

an enrichment activity

play15:02

let's call this activity as the

play15:03

re-circle the ring

play15:07

for this activity you will need the

play15:09

following materials

play15:11

a separate piece of paper

play15:14

a pencil and your self

play15:18

learning module to start

play15:21

take a look at this figure

play15:23

[Music]

play15:25

what do you see it shows the active

play15:28

volcanoes

play15:29

represented as triangles all over the

play15:31

pacific region

play15:34

let's label this figure as one

play15:37

and compare this to another figure and

play15:40

label it as two

play15:42

you will realize that the active

play15:44

volcanoes shown in the figure 1

play15:46

are also situated in the areas of the

play15:48

plate movement

play15:49

as shown in figure 2. can you spot it

play15:54

using the map in figure 1 which volcano

play15:56

is familiar to you and why

play16:00

you probably say mount pinatubo an

play16:03

active volcano located on the island of

play16:05

luzon in the philippines

play16:07

at the intersection of the borders of

play16:09

the provinces of zambales

play16:12

and pampanga did you know that on june

play16:15

15

play16:15

1991 mount pinatubo volcano exploded

play16:19

which was the second largest volcanic

play16:21

eruption in the 20th century

play16:23

[Music]

play16:24

other notable volcanoes include the

play16:27

mount

play16:28

fuji in japan which is an active volcano

play16:31

it stands at 3776 meters

play16:35

and the mount st helens in washington

play16:38

which is known as the world's famous

play16:41

natural laboratory for the study of the

play16:43

earth's

play16:43

processes and also nature's response to

play16:46

catastrophe

play16:48

why this area is called the pacific ring

play16:51

of fire

play16:52

that's because active volcanoes faults

play16:55

and earthquake epicenters almost

play16:58

surround the pacific region

play17:01

so there you have just learned about the

play17:03

plate tectonics

play17:04

based on the distribution of active

play17:06

volcanoes

play17:08

earthquake epicenters and mountain

play17:10

ranges on our planet

play17:13

wonder warriors let us see if we have

play17:15

grasped the essence of today's

play17:17

exploration

play17:19

let's have a five item pop quiz kindly
