Question
1. The lithosphere overlies the mantle (asthenosphere) and moves through
convection current. This movement affects our life on Earth in many aspects. What
do you think would happen if the lithosphere stopped moving?
2. The three types of volcanic mechanism create different types of volcanoes
depending on the movement of the plates. Which among diver
and hotspots do you think creates more violent volcanoes?
ent, convergent
3. Hawaii Islands are formed because of a hotspot. Imagine if there was a hotspot in
the Philippine plate. What do you think the Philippines would look like and how
would this affect us?
