Unit 8-9: Volcanoes and Climate


Have you personally been to Albay or Tagaytay? Have you actually seen Mayon Volcano or Taal Volcano? Have
you ever seen a live volcanic eruption? How did that make you feel? If you haven’t, wouldn’t you want to see an erupting
volcano in full view or at least see a real volcano in person? Have you heard about the damage caused by the eruption of
Mount Pinatubo in Zambales? Volcanic Eruption is not new in the Philippines and we’ve had several eruptions in the
past decades.

In this module, you will find why do a number of a particular type of volcanoes exist in the Philippines. Always
consider this question as you go through; How does the effectivity of the function of Circulatory and respiratory System
be ensured?

Feature: An eruption of air pollution


https://airqualitynews.com/2021/11/19/feature-an-eruption-of-air-pollution/

Air Quality News explores the impact that volcanic eruptions are having on our atmosphere.

If the past 18 months haven’t already been enough to handle, late last month, La Palma, Spain experienced its
first volcanic eruption in over 50 years. The eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, which began in late September,
has so far seen the forced evacuation of over 6,000 residents and the destruction of 1,300 homes and
buildings. The eruption itself isn’t particularly surprising, at any one time there are around 40 active volcanoes
and for billions of years, geological processes like volcanic eruptions have controlled the atmosphere and the state
of our climate. However, what is different about this specific eruption is its close proximity to the general
population of La Palma. When we see pictures of the Cumbre Vieja eruption or other eruptions of a similar
magnitude, we see ash-covered skies and rivers of lava flooding the land. However, according
to Sævar Helgi Bragason, an expert in air quality and climate for the Icelandic Environment Agency: ‘Generally
speaking, the lava itself is not really an issue, it’s the gas pollution emitted from the volcano that is by far the
biggest safety concern for everyone in the area.’ Volcanoes emit a cocktail of chemicals, but one pollutant that is
a major cause for concern is Sulphur dioxide (SO2). Like with other more commonly known pollutants, SO2 is
associated with a wide range of health impacts, from respiratory issues such as asthma and bronchitis to
cardiovascular and lung disease. Dr Anja Schmidt, an expert in the impact that volcanic eruptions have on air
quality at the University of Cambridge analyzed the air pollution impact of the 2014 Bárðarbunga eruption in
Iceland and found that the volcano emitted 12,000 tons of SO2 per day, this is three times more than all European
industries combined. In another study led by Dr Schmidt in collaboration with the University of Iceland, the
researchers found that at the time of the eruption, incidents of respiratory disease rose by a quarter and the
incidence of asthma medication dispensing increased by a fifth. ‘This is the first study to convincingly show that
there is a direct link between respiratory health and the presence of volcanic pollution,’ Dr Schmidt tells Air
Quality News. The Cumbre Vieja eruption in La Palma is still ongoing and the complete air pollution picture is
yet to be fully understood, however recent satellite images published by the European Space Agency revealed
that SO2 emissions from the eruption were moving over the Atlantic Ocean towards Central America. As the
molten lava from the Cumbre Vieja eruption has flowed into the ocean, Spanish authorities have warned of the
potential health impacts from exposure to ‘laze’ pollution. Laze occurs when hot molten lava comes into contact
with ocean water, forcing the water to evaporate and creating magnesium salts that mix with the steam. According
to the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), breathing in laze pollution may damage the lungs.
This damage is caused by the dangerously corrosive hydrogen chloride, which is a product of the laze. Hydrogen
chloride creates an accumulation of fluid in the lungs, referred to as pulmonary edema, which results in fatigue,
chest pain, and coughing. In severe cases, laze can be fatal to both humans and marine life. The heat from the
volcanic lava can boil fish in the ocean and leave them floating on the surface of the water. While there is nothing
that can be done to reduce or prevent the pollution from volcanic activity, a lot can be done to prepare in order to
minimize the health impacts when a volcanic eruption inevitably occurs. As a country known for its volcanic
activity, the Icelandic Government now has specific devices in place to measure volcanic pollution, this
information is then sent to a live feed which warns the general public if any spikes in air pollution do occur.
However, it is not just the countries that are home to these volcanoes that need to prepare.
During the 2014 eruption, researchers found that pollutants were being transported more than 3,000 kilometers
from Iceland. Following on from this, Dr Schmidt has been working with the UK Government to update the
National Risk Register. This means that similar to acts of terrorism, heatwaves or pandemics, the UK now has a

SCIENCE 9// EARTH AND SPACE// QUARTER 3// S.Y.2021-2022


10
plan in place to deal with the potential pollution impact from volcanic eruptions overseas. As part of this
preparation, the Met Office now has a UK-wide light detection and ranging (LIDAR) network, which uses satellite
information to provide data on ash-cloud and volcanic pollution. ‘Countries are well aware of the potential
impacts of volcanic pollution on human health and so there is no excuse not to prepare,’ says Dr Shmit. ‘I think
governments are doing as good a job as they can at the moment to communicate with the public, but really it’s
about education, it’s about telling the public about the impact that air pollution can have on their health and
informing them of the precautionary measures that they need to take.’ However, Sævar expressed concern that
while the governments do know the extent of the health impacts, the public is still largely unaware. ‘I think that
people tend to look away or turn a blind eye,’ says Sævar, ‘The information is out there, but because the pollution
normally only lasts a day or two the public don’t think they are in grave danger and so they choose not to think
about it. But what they don’t know is that just because this pollution isn’t causing them any serious harm right
now it could still lead to health complications further down the line.’ Alongside the pollutants that are emitted
from volcanic eruptions, volcanoes are also a source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. According to a study
published in 2019, volcanic activity is estimated to be responsible for around 280 – 360 million tons of CO2 per
year. This might sound like a lot, but to put this into perspective humans emit around 36 billion tons of CO2 per
year. According to Sævar, humans take around three days to release the same amount of CO2 as every volcano
on earth. ‘An eruption in Iceland earlier this year emitted about 10,000 tons of CO2 per day,’ he explains. ‘This
eruption would need to continue at this level for two to three years just to equal the amount of CO2 released by
humans in one year.’ Volcanoes can also actually help to mitigate the impacts of industrial emissions by having
a cooling impact on the planet. ‘If the ash from the volcano is blown into the surface of the stratosphere it can act
as a mirror, radiating the sun’s rays back into space,’ explains Sævar. The most famous example of this is with
the eruption of the Pinatubo volcano in the Philippines in 1991. According to some estimates, the eruption
decreased world temperatures by about 1°C over the two years following the eruption. Although there is no doubt
that volcanic eruptions are a serious source of air pollution, Sævar has been quick to point out that any spike is
usually very short-lived. ‘Fortunately for us, volcanic eruptions are usually not very long lasting, they usually
erupt for only a few weeks or months. So, in the end they do stop emitting all these pollutants,’ he tells Air Quality
News. ‘Volcanic eruptions are part of nature, we have no control over them, but what we do have control over is
industrial pollution and so our focus must be on strengthening regulation to reduce the pollution and emissions
from man-made sources.’

Unit 10: Stars and Constellations


Have you ever watched the clouds drift by on a summer day? It is fun to look at the clouds and imagine they have shapes
familiar to you. One may look like a face. You may see a cloud that resembles a rabbit or a bear. People long time ago
did much the same thing with patterns of stars in the sky. They name certain groups of stars called constellation, after
animals, and characters in mythology of familiar objects.

From Earth, a constellation looks like a group of stars that are relatively close to one another. In most cases, the stars in
a constellation have no relationship to each other.

In this module, you will find why do some people are being influenced by superstitious beliefs. Always consider this
question as you go through; “How do scientific literacy and superstitious belief influences decision making and lifestyle?”

Unit Coverage

People tend to turn to astrology in times of stress. A small 1982 study by the psychologist Graham Tyson found
that “people who consult astrologers” did so in response to stressors in their lives—particularly stress “linked to
the individual’s social roles and to his or her relationships,” Tyson wrote. “Under conditions of high stress, the
individual is prepared to use astrology as a coping device even though under low-stress conditions he does not
believe in it.”According to American Psychological Association survey data, since 2014, Millennials have been
the most stressed generation, and also the generation most likely to say their stress has increased in the past year
since 2010. Millennials and Gen Xers have been significantly more stressed than older generations since 2012.
And Americans as a whole have seen increased stress because of the political tumult since the 2016 presidential
election. The 2017 edition of the APA’s survey found that 63 percent of Americans said they were significantly
stressed about their country’s future. Fifty-six percent of people said reading the news stresses them out, and
Millennials and Gen Xers were significantly more likely than older people to say so. Lately that news often deals
with political infighting, climate change, global crises, and the threat of nuclear war. If stress makes astrology
look shinier, it’s not surprising that more seem to be drawn to it now.
Nicholas’s horoscopes are evidence of this. She has around 1 million monthly readers online, and recently snagged
a book deal—one of four new mainstream astrology guidebooks sold in a two-month period in summer 2017,
according to Publisher’s Marketplace. Anna Paustenbach, Nicholas’s editor at Harper

One, told me in an email that Nicholas is “at the helm of a resurgence of astrology.” She thinks this is partly
because Nicholas’s horoscopes are explicitly political. On September 6, the day after the Trump administration
announced it was rescinding DACA—the deferred-action protection program for undocumented immigrants—
Nicholas sent out her typical newsletter for the upcoming full moon. It read, in part:

The full moon in Pisces ... may open the floodgates of our feelings. May help us to empathize with others ...
May we use this full moon to continue to dream up, and actively work toward, creating a world where white
supremacy has been abolished.

Astrology offers those in crisis the comfort of imagining a better future, a tangible reminder of that clichéd truism
that is nonetheless hard to remember when you’re in the thick of it: This too shall pass.
