What is a volcano?
A landform created by the eruption of magma from a vent in the Earth's crust.
What is caldera?
Formed by the collapse of a volcano's summit.
What is Crater?
Crater is formed by an explosive eruption.
An active volcano has a higher risk of erupting in the near future, while an inactive volcano is not
expected to erupt.
3 types of volcano according to the shape of their cones.
shield volcanoes, composite cones (stratovolcanoes) and cinder volcanoes.
1. Shield Volcano is the largest type of volcano and broad with flat, rounded shape that resemble the
shaped of a curved shield.
Ex. Mt. Mauna Loa in Hawaii
2. Composite Volcano or Stratovolcano is also known as a nearly perfect cone shape. These types of
volcano are explosive and composed of alternating layers of lava flows. This type of volcano is most
likely to produce pyroclastic flows.
Ex. Mayon Volcano in Albay, Mt. Pinatubo in Zambales
3. Cinder Cone Volcano are usually small volcanoes and their lava flows in one direction only. Cinder
Cone Volcano is the simplest volcano. It also has flat top with a wide circular crater.
Ex. Paricutin, located in Mexico
What is Magma?
Molten rock beneath the Earth's Surface.
What is lava?
Molten rock that has erupted onto the surface.
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
The earth is believed to be extremely hot from within. Energy derived from the Earth's internal
heat.
What is the 1st steps to generate electricity from geothermal power plant?
3rd steps?
The following are commonly observed signs that a volcano is about to erupt. These may
vary from volcano to volcano.
1. Increase in the frequency of volcanic quakes with rumbling sounds; occurrence of volcanic
tremor.
2. Increased steaming activity; change in color of steam emission from white to gray due to
entrained ash.
3. Crater glow due to presence of magma at or near the crater.
4. Ground swells (or inflation), ground tilt and ground fissuring due to magma intrusion.
5. Localized landslides, rock falls and landslides from the summit area that are not attributed to
heavy rains.
6. Noticeable increase in drying up of vegetation around the volcano's upper slopes.
7. Increase in temperature of hot springs, wells (e. Bulusan and Canlaon) and crater lake (e. Taal)
near the volcano.
8. Noticeable variation in the chemical content of springs, crater lakes within the vicinity of the
volcano.
9. Drying up of springs/wells around the volcano.
10. Development of new thermal areas and/or reactivation of old ones; appearance of solfataras
(craters with sulfur gas).
It is important to be able to observe warning signs of volcanic unrest so that people can evacuate
in time, and minimize injuries and casualties. It is therefore important to be able to monitor a
volcano’s activity, and this is normally done with the aid of different tools or instruments to
monitor the different parameters.
FACTOR # 1:
What are the things you usually consider whenever you plan to have a picnic or going to a
beach?
It is the condition of the atmosphere at a specific place and time. Example, the weather
may change time to time or day by day. For example, rainy, sunny, cloudy, windy, etc.
While climate refers to atmospheric changes over a long period of time. For example, you
expected to experience rainy season, from June to November and dry season, from
December to May.
Sun's rays do not hit Earth equally, because earth's axis is tilted in 23.5°. Sun's rays strike
vertically in the places near the equator or in tropical regions. Equator receives most of the sun's
rays.
The earth is divided into 3 major climate zones. This is the tropical zones, temperate zones
and polar zones.
Tropical regions have high temperature, like the Philippines near at the equator.
Temperate regions are the middle latitude. Areas in temperate regions have 4 different seasons.
What are the 4 different seasons?

time.
Latitude means how far north or south of the equator a place is located. While altitude
refers to the height above sea level.
How altitude affects climate change?
The air temperature decreases as the altitude increases. Places with higher elevations
have cold temperature.
Remember, the higher the place is the colder temperature or temperature decreases as the
altitude increases.
FACTOR #3 DISTANCE FROM THE BODIES OF WATER
Which Cools and Heats Faster?
Distance from the ocean - body of water circulates the warm air and cold air.
How the bodies of water can greatly affect the climate on the land?
Land heats and cools faster than the ocean. Therefore, coastal areas have a lower
temperature range than those areas inland.
Places without bodies of water tend to have warmer temperature during day time than those areas
that near from the ocean.
Remember, near the ocean would have cooler temperature while farther from the ocean will have
warmer temperature.
For Example:
British Isles and Moscow have the same latitude. Both places have four season climates since
they are in the temperate region.
However British Isles is surrounded by the bodies of water that made it have a moderate climate.
On the other hand, Moscow experience extreme climates in summer and winter because it is
found inland with no near oceans and sea.
FACTORS #4 TOPOGRAPHY
It shows different loops or gyres of the currents around the world.
Northern hemisphere - Current flows in a clockwise direction.
Southern hemisphere - Current flows in a counterclockwise direction.
Ocean currents that flow away from the equator carry warm water. When ocean currents
take along warm water towards a coastal region and inland region, temperature
increases.
Ocean currents that flow away from the poles carry warm water. When ocean currents
bring cold water towards a coastal region and inland region, temperature decreases.
CLIMATE CHANGE
What is climate change?
It refers to long term changes in temperature, weather patterns, global warming and
precipitation. Expert says that the earth experience period of cooling and warming.
term for the layer of gases in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat from the sun.
What will happen to earth when those greenhouse gasses are not present to our earth’s atmosphere.
Without these gases, Earth will be at freezing point and life will be possible.

When we look at the night sky, we see thousands of stars. In reality, there are approximately 400 billion
stars in our galaxy, and there are about 170 billion galaxies. A person can see only about 3,000 stars on
the average.
These stars differ in many ways. We see stars of different sizes, color, temperature and brightness.
CHARACTERISTICS OF STARS
SIZE
What is the difference between the Sirius and Rigel?
Sirius Rigel
It appears bigger than It appears smaller than
Rigel. Sirius.
Sirius smaller compared Rigel.
It appears larger only It appears smaller
because it is closer to because it is farther from
us. us.
COLOR AND TEMPERATURE- star color ranges from red to blue. The color of the star indicates of
its surface temperature.
Hydra - It is typically visible in the spring and summer months in the southern hemisphere.
The constellation is named after the multi-headed serpent.
Leo - It is typically visible in the spring and summer months in the northern hemisphere.
The constellation is named after the lion.
Virgo - is typically visible in the spring and summer months in the northern hemisphere.
The constellation is named after the virgin.
Q3. Why are some stars visible in march but not visible in September (vice versa)?
Different patterns are formed in different months.
The Earth's revolution refers to its orbit around the Sun. As the Earth moves in its orbit, the
position of the stars and constellations in the sky appears to change over time. This means that
the direction in which we are looking out into space also changes over time, and different parts
of the sky come into view.
Q4. What constellations are prominent during winter? fall? summer? Spring?
This is due to earth’s revolution.
Q3. Why are some stars visible in march but not visible
in September (vice versa)?
Next, try to look at the sky at night can you see images
of animals’ objects or people when star is group
together they are called constellation and imaginary
pattern of stars.
