2. Caldera- a large
cauldron-like hollow
that forms shortly after
the emptying of a
magma chamber in a
volcanic eruption.
3. Viscosity- property
which determines the
intensity of lava
eruption. Fluids wit high
viscosity flow less
easily than fluids with
low viscosity.
4. Geothermal
Energy- energy from
the internal heat of the
Earth.

Parts of a Volcano
includes:
a) Magma- these are
molten rocks inside
the Earth.
b) Magma Chamber-
is a hollow within a
volcano where
magma and gases
accumulate.
c) Vent- opening on the
surface of a volcano
where lava, gases,
ashes or other
PPT

are emitted.
d) Crater- bowl-shaped
depression formed
by volcanic
eruptions.
e) Lava- magma that
was once in the
interior of the Earth
which was expelled
onto its surface.
f) Tephra- pieces of
rocks thrown away
from a volcano with a
size of tiny ash
particles to a house-
size boulders.
g) Volcanic Bombs-
molten rocks thrown
out from a volcano
which are at least
66mm in size.
Different Types of
Volcanoes and
Volcanic Eruption
Volcanoes can be
categorized based on
two aspects: According
to Activity and according
to shape and their
explosiveness.
Based on Activity:
Active Volcanoes-
these are volcanoes
that has a record of
eruption recently or
in the past 10,000
years, and are
expected to erupt
again in the future. PPT
Example of this are Presentation
Mt. Mayon.
Dormant
Volcanoes- are
volcanoes that has
the capacity to erupt
but has not erupted
in the past 10,000
years.
Extinct Volcanoes-
this are inactive
volcanoes that has
not erupted in the
past 10,000 years
and are not expected
to erupt again in the
future. However,
even though they are
extinct, they can still
erupt anytime
unexpectedly.
Based on Shape and
Explosiveness:
Shield Volcano- are
low mountains with
broad sloping sides,
formed by flowing
lava. The lava flows
in all directions from
the central vent,
creating a flattened
cone. This are the
largest volcanoes in
the world having a
diameter of hundred
kilometers.
Cinder Cone
Volcanoes- are the
simplest type of
volcanoes. These
are steep conical
volcanic debris
formed by particles
and blobs of erupted
lava. This has
circular oval cone
and mostly low
impact eruption.
Composite PPT
Volcanoes- are Presentation
made up of
alternating layers of
volcanic debris, lava
flows, and cinders
that run down steep,
symmetrical flanks.
The crater of a
composite volcano is
connected to the
central vent filled
with magma.
Volcanic Eruption
Types of Magma:
a) Basaltic- low
viscosity magma that
flows easily and
quickly along the
surface as lava.
b) Andesitic- contains
concentration of iron,
magnesium,
calcium, potassium
and sodium. This is
more viscous than
basaltic magma
which explodes
violently and flow
slowly along the
surface.
c) Rhyolitic- contains
high concentration of
silicates and gasses
and the most viscous
among the three. It
has high amount of
sodium and
potassium.
Pyroclastic Materials:
a) Agglutinates-
melded pieces of
rocks due to high
temperature
b) Volcanic ash- tiny
lava particles that
explode into the
atmosphere
c) Bombs- partially
molten fragments of
lava larger than
64mm
d) Cinders- vesicular
fragments of lava at
least 1cm in size
e) Lapili- lava rocks or
fragments ranging
from 2 to 64mm in
size
f) Pumice- pea-sized
lumps of rocks
composed of light
colored volcanic
materials.
g) Scoria- vesicular
volcanic rocks
commonly dark or
reddish in color
Values Integration
Application
Generalization
PPT
To sum-up our whole Presentation
discussion for today we
have learned that:
Volcanoes can be
classified based on
their activity whether
active, dormant or
extinct volcanoes.
Volcanoes can be
further classified
based on their shape
and explosiveness
which are shield,
cinder cone or
composite
volcanoes.
The materials
associated with
volcanic eruptions
are lava flow,
pyroclastic
materials, volcanic
gases and tephra.
Volcanic eruptions
are caused by the
high temperature
and pressure of
gasses dissolved in
magma and newly
injected magma into PPT
a magma chamber Presentation
that is already full of
magma.
The primary factor
that determines the
strength of a
volcanic eruption are
temperature and
composition of
magma and the
amount of dissolved
gasses.
Volcanic eruptions
are not only
hazardous but they
can also bring
benefits to life forms.
