Introductory Message
Welcome to Earth Science 11

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Roxas City and Deped Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through
the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to guide
the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping the learners
meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in acquiring
the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and employment.

For learning facilitator:

The Earth Science 11 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the leaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or
no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to the
learners with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The Earth Science 11 Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning
even if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and
engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and
understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the assessments. This
will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Describe What Happens After Magma is Formed

I. Learning Competency with Code

Describe what happens after magma is formed (S11ES-IIc-25)

II. Background Information for Learners

The hot liquid magma comes from deep within the earth’s crust. After the magma is
being formed, it breaks through cracks in the earth's surface. Then the molten rock spreads
over wide areas of the land. A small cone or large mountain of rock may form at the opening
and it is termed as a volcano.

The magma as it goes outside will eventually cool down and form minerals following
the Bowen’s Reaction Series (it is a means of ranking common igneous silicate minerals
by the temperature at which they crystallize; minerals at the top were first to crystallize
from a magma that is cooling). This magma that goes out into the surface forms the so-
called extrusive igneous rocks. This type of rock is characterized by its capacity to cool
quickly to form small crystals. Also, some cool so quickly that they form an amorphous
glass. As such, this type of rocks possessed usually a glassy or finely crystalline texture.
Common examples of this are basalt, obsidian, and pumice.

There are times that the rock that overlies the mass of magma prevents it from reaching
the surface. This eventually cause the magma to cool slowly, hence forming another type
of rock. This is called the intrusive igneous rocks also known as plutonic rocks. They have
a coarser texture, composed of masses of larger crystalline grains of varying size. Intrusive
igneous rocks are often exposed by erosion of the overlying rocks. Common examples of
intrusive igneous rocks are gabbro, granite, and peridotite. Therefore, igneous rock is
formed from the solidification of molten rock material from the earth surface.

III. Activity Proper

Directions:
After understanding the key-concepts that had happened after the formation of
magma, you are now expected to possess the basic understanding of the given concept.
Check your understanding by doing the following activities.
Are you now ready?

1
 Activity 1: Let’s Map it Out!

Write down the series of key-events that had happened after the formation of
magma until the formation of either intrusive or extrusive igneous type of rocks. You
are going to select your answers from the given choices inside the circle and it must be
written inside the boxes. Answers must be chronologically arranged based on the
sequence of events

cools down some magma does not comes out

spreads over land area cools down

some magma comes out break through cracks

Begin here:

Magma Formation

Extrusive Igneous Rock Intrusive Igneous Rock

 Activity 2: Write the Difference!
Identify the basic difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks by
simply supplying the needed information for each item in the table below.

Extrusive Igneous Rock Intrusive Igneous Rock

Forms where?

What’s the texture?

Common examples are…

Activity 3: Check your Understanding!

Answer the following:

_____________ 1. These are hot materials coming from the inner surface of the earth.
_____________ 2. A type of igneous rock characterized by a crystal like appearance.
_____________ 3. Type of rocks formed from the solidified magma.
_____________ 4. It is a means of ranking common igneous silicate minerals by the
temperature at which they crystallize.
_____________ 5. True or False. After the formation of magma, it cools and solidifies.

IV. Reflection

Reflection: (Posssible answer).Magma is formed due to high temprature and

pressure in the earth’s interior..
