Forces that Affect Changes on the Earth’s Surface

Background Information for Learners (BIL)

Earthquake is the sudden movement or shaking of the ground. It is triggered when two
plates slide past each other along a fault. Earthquake usually happens along faults. The area in
the Earth’s crust where first breakage of rock occur or where earthquake originates is called
the focus, hypocenter or origin. The point on the Earth’s surface above the focus is called the
epicenter. It is where the strong shaking of the ground is felt hence has the greatest wave of
energy. This wave of energy is called seismic wave. Seismic wave becomes weaker as it travels
outward from the epicenter. It is measured using a seismograph. Earthquake can either be
tectonic earthquake or volcanic earthquake. Tectonic earthquake occurs when the plates of the
Earth's crust and upper mantle become stuck as they move past one another (Gillespie, 2018)
while volcanic earthquake is produced by vibrations generated by the movement of magma or
other fluids within the volcano (Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, n.d.). Earthquake is
measured using intensity and magnitude. Intensity is the measure of how strong earthquake is
felt while magnitude measures the amount of energy released by the earthquake. The effects
caused by an earthquake depends on its magnitude. It can destroy properties, loss of lives, it
can also cause landslide and tsunami.

The Pacific Ring of Fire is a path along the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes and
volcanic activities occurs. Seventy-five percent of Earth’s volcanoes - more than 450
volcanoes – are located along the Ring of Fire. The abundance of volcanoes and earthquakes
along the Ring of Fire is caused by the amount of movement of tectonic plates in the area.

Volcano is an opening on earth crust through which lava, ash, rock and gasses are
ejected. There are three main parts of a volcano: the chamber, vent and the crater. The chamber
is found far beneath the surface that contains magma. The vent connects the crater to the magma
chamber and the crater is the steep-walled depression at the peak of the volcano. Volcanoes
have different kinds. Volcanoes can either be active or inactive. Active volcanoes have a recent
history of eruptions; they are likely to erupt again. Inactive volcanoes are categorized into two:
dormant and extinct. Dormant volcanoes have not erupted for a very long time but may erupt
at a future time. Extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt in the future (National Geographic,
n.d.). They are also classified according to the shape and composition of cone: shield volcano,
cinder cone volcano, and stratovolcano. Shield volcano has wide base and the cone is made up
of purely lava. Cinder cone volcano has a narrow base and steep slope. It’s cone is made up of
cinders (pyroclasts and tephra) while Stratovolcano is composed of alternating layers of lava
and cinder.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

What to Do Before, During and After an Earthquake and Volcanic

Eruption

Background Information for Learners (BIL)

Philippines is located along the Ring of Fire and so it is an earthquake-prone country.
The Philippine Deep or the Philippine Trench is the second deepest trench in the world that
causes most of the earthquakes in Visayas and Mindanao. The active volcanoes in the different
parts of the country may cause volcanic earthquakes. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology
and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) is closely monitoring seismic activities and volcanic activities.
PHIVOLCS issued some safety guidelines before, during and after to minimize damages and
lives of people can be safeguard if they practice safety precautions.
Before an earthquake:
1. Prepare your home. Stored properly harmful chemicals, heavier objects should be
on lower shelves, and lighter ones on upper so that they will not fall on during
earthquake.
2. Prepare emergency plan and familiarize yourself with your place, mark locations
for emergency exits, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, alarms, supplies, and
communications facilities.
3. Conduct earthquake drills in school and in place of work.
During an earthquake:
1. Keep calm. Protect your head from falling objects by putting your hands over your
head, be in fetal position, stay under strong furniture and go to an open area.
2. Do not use elevators, use stairs and move away from doorway to avoid being
crushed.
3. Move to an open area away from power lines, posts, tress, walls and protect yourself
from falling debris.
4. If driving, stop and get out of the vehicle and stay beside.

Note: Please Practice Personal Hygiene at all times. 8

 5. In crowded places like theaters, malls, and churches, do not rush to the exits to avoid
stampede.
6. If located in a coastal area, move to higher ground. If you are in a higher ground,
move to away from steep place a landslide might occur.
After an earthquake:
1. Check if there are danger like damaged power lines, cracked walls, broken glasses,
and fire hazards.
2. Wear shoes for protection and use flashlight when searching.
3. Check electrical, water, or gas lines for any damage and never touch fallen electrical
wirings.
4. Do not use your vehicles and be prepared for aftershocks.
5. Be alert for tsunami warnings. Follow evacuation advices, if necessary.

A volcano is a landform on the earth’s crust through which molten rock beneath reaches
the surface. Due to tremendous pressure and extreme temperatures, the hot molten rock beneath
the earth called magma. The accumulation of the magma as it rises from a reservoir called
magma chamber. The magma in the reservoir continues to move up through the surface until
it erupts through an opening called vent. When magma reaches Earth’s surface, it becomes
lava. At the top of a volcano is a funnel-shaped pit or depression called crater.
Several devastating earthquakes occurred around the world especially in the areas along
the Pacific Ring of Fire where there are a lot of active volcanoes. According to experts, most
of the volcanoes all over the world lie beneath the sea, formed along the global oceanic ridge
systems.
A Non-explosive explosion during volcanic eruption is a quiet effusion of lava while
an explosive eruption can be compared to an atomic bomb explosion, exploding thick and dark
ash clouds reaching up to thousands of meters high. Volcanic ash clouds are fine fragments
ejected by a volcano such an eruption. Sometimes they can be seen growing like a giant
mushroom enveloping the horizon over an erupting crater causing the surrounding areas to be
shrouded with darkness. After a few minutes, the ash falls back to the ground like rain. Heavy
ashfall can cause harm to humas, plants, equipment, engines, and structures. Fine volcanic ash
is often respirable which can cause pulmo-respiratory diseases if inhaled over prolonged
period. Volcanic ash contains soluble salt which can harm plants. Thick ash that accumulates
on roofs especially when rained on could cause the collapse of houses and buildings. Also acid-
bearing ash could cause metal corrosion and destroy household appliances like air-conditioner,

Note: Please Practice Personal Hygiene at all times. 9

freezer, refrigerator, radio, television set, computer, etc. Ash could likewise aect vehicle
engines and cause vehicular accidents. We cannot stop ash fall but we can minimize its adverse
effects.
There are tips on what to do before, during and after volcanic eruption:
Before a volcanic eruption:
1. Have your emergency kit ready for evacuation and review the city’s evacuation
routes.
2. Avoid areas down streams of the eruption.
3. Cover windows and door openings inside the house and stay indoors.
4. Do not drive in heavy ashfall.
During a volcanic eruption:
1. Stay calm and evacuate or shelter in safe place.
2. Do not drive if there’s too much ash fall
3. Stay away from exclusion zones (rivers, downwind)
4. Use an N95 respirator mask and google, if needed
5. Do not run the AC or heater at home
After a volcanic eruption:
1. Stay indoors until local officials say it’s safe to leave
2. Listen to local radios
3. Assess the damage done to your home
4. Remove ashes from your roof using water carefully.

Learning Competency:
Enumerate what to do before, during and after earthquake
and volcanic eruptions S6ESIVc-3

Different Seasons in the Philippines

Background Information for Learners (BIL)

The unequal heating of the earth causes changes in the condition of the Earth’s
atmosphere. A weather is the condition of the atmosphere that changes from time to time
and from day to day. A climate is the average weather conditions prevailing in a particular
area for a long period of time. A season is the period of the year that is usually characterized
by a particular kind of weather. Having different season is caused by the Earth’s tilting as
its rotate and revolve around the sun.
The Philippine climate, warm and humid year-round, is world’s healthiest tropical
climates. There are two pronounce seasons in the Philippines - dry and wet (rainy). Dry
season is characterized by hot and cloudless days. Between January and May, the climate
is generally dry with occasional rain showers and during January to February, the air is cold
and dry. April is the peak of dry season with less rain showers. The dry season is influenced
by seasonal wind and the northeast monsoon-amihan. Wet season is characterized by a
pronounced rainy season with thunderstorms. It starts in June and peaks in July to
September. The air is hot and humid, which brings heavy rains and typhoons in the country.
The Philippines is located a little north of the equator. Being near the equator, the
Philippines receive vertical rays of sunlight. The sun’s heat causes much water to evaporate
and fall as rain later . Season in the Philippines are also influenced by prevailing winds
which blows mostly from a single direction, the southeast monsoon (or habagat) and
northeast monsoon (or amihan).

Learning Activity Sheet
Rotation and Revolution of the Earth

Background Information for Learners

Rotation is the movement of Earth on its axis while revolution is the movement of Earth
around the sun. Earth’s rotation causes day and night while its revolution causes the four
seasons. Earth’s move around the sun, there is a point where it comes near the sun. this point
is called the perihelion. Earth is closest to the sun at the beginning of January. At the perihelion,
the Northern Hemisphere points away from the sun and receives less heat and light than during
the rest of the year, while the Southern Hemisphere receives more heat and light than usual. As
Earth continues to move around the sun, there is a point where Earth is farthest from the sun.
This point is called the aphelion. Earth is farthest from the sun in July. At the aphelion, the
Northern Hemisphere points toward the sun, so it receives much energy, making it warm. The
Southern Hemisphere points away from the sun, receiving less heat that makes the temperature
low. Earth’s axis is tilted or slanted by 23.5° relative to vertical. The tilt is oriented toward the
sun in certain months of the year and is oriented away from the sun in other months. This tilting
of Earth’s axis and the revolution of Earth around the sun cause by the difference in the amount
of light and heat received from the sun by the different parts of Earth. The places on or near
the equator receive more intense heat and experience higher temperature during the day.
Another significant effect is the occurrence of summer solstice or longer hours of daylight in
the Northern Hemisphere. When Earth has covered one-fourth of its trip around the sun, that
is, during the months of August, September, and October, Earth experiences almost equal hours
of daytime and night time. In this season, autumnal equinox, or equal daytime and night time
occurs. When Earth has travelled three-fourths of its way around the sun, Earth again receives
equal hours of daylight and darkness. This is called vernal or spring equinox.

Compare the Planets of the Solar System

Background Information for Learners

(https://space-facts.com/planets-solar-system)

The solar system is composed of 8

planets, arranged in its chronological
order, namely: Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune. Each planet rotates on its own
axis while revolving around the Sun.
Every planet has unique characteristics
and qualities that set it apart from the rest.

Mercury is the smallest planet with its diameter of 4,879 km and its mass of 3.29
×10^23 kg but even though the planet is small, it is the second densest planet
because Mercury is composed mainly of heavy metals and rock. It is also the
closest planet to the Sun but it is just the second hottest planet. A day on the
(https://space-facts.com/ surface lasts 176 Earth days and a year only lasts 88 Earth days.
planets-solar-system) Venus is as nearly as big as Earth with its diameter of
12,104 km. It is the hottest planet with 462 ̊ C because
Venus doesn’t tilt on its own axis so there is no seasonal variation. And Venus
is the second brightest object in the night sky but only the Moon is brighter. In
this account, Venus is considered as the Morning Star and Evening Star.
Among the planets, Venus rotates opposite direction to most other planets. A
day on the surface of the planet takes 117 Earth days and a year takes 225
(https://space-facts.com/
Earth days. It is often called the Earth’s sister planet having 81.5 % of Earth
planets-solar-system)
mass and having both a central core, molten mantle and crust.
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the largest planet
among the terrestrial planets with its equatorial diameter of 12,756km and its
polar diameter of 12,714km. The Earth was formed approximately 4.54 billion
years ago and is the only known planet to support life. And the Earth is the densest
planet in the Solar System having the average density approximately 5.52 grams
per cubic centimeters. Earth also has 1 moon that serves as its natural satellite.
The Moon is considered as the largest satellite in the solar system, however it is
(https://space-facts.com/
only the fifth largest natural satellite. The Earth orbits around the Sun of 365.24
planets-solar-system)
days equivalent to a year and a leap year that occurs mostly every 4 years.

Note: Please Practice Personal Hygiene at all times. 31

 Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and it is often described as the Red
Planet due to its reddish color. It is also a terrestrial planet with thin
atmosphere primarily composed of carbon dioxide. Even though Mars has
only 15% of the Earth’s volume and just over 10% of the Earth’s mass and is
housing the tallest mountain in the solar system called Olympus Mons, a
shield volcano that is about 21km high and 600km in diameter. It also is the
second smallest planet in the solar system with its equatorial diameter of
6,792km and a polar diameter of 6,752km. But even with its size it is also (https://space-facts.com/

known to have the largest dust storms in the solar system that last for months planets-solar-system)

in 687 days or 1.9 years in its orbit that covered the entire planet. This planet
has 2 moons namely Phobos (fear) and Deimos (panic) that belongs to the category among the
smallest natural satellites in the solar system. The sunsets in this planet is blue while the Martian
day is pinkish-red that is opposite to the Earth’s skies.
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and is the largest planet in the solar
system with its equatorial diameter of 142,984km and a polar diameter of
133,709km. With all the planets combined, it is two and a half (2 ½) more
massive and it is made up of gas that’s why it is called the gas giant. With
the Sun as the brightest object in the solar system, Jupiter is recorded as the
fourth brightest object alongside with Venus and the Moon. Jupiter’s
atmosphere is composed of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium and also
contains smaller amount of ammonia, methane and water and below its
(https://space-facts.com/ atmosphere is made up of interior of rock, metal and hydrogen compound.
planets-solar-system) This planet is also known for its storm called Great Red Spot that is situated
22̊ south of the planet’s equator that has been raging for at least 350 years and
it is very large that three (3) Earths can fit inside. It has 79 moons and among them are Io, Europa,
Ganymede and Callisto. It also has a ring system but only a thin one. The planet also took up 11.9
years or 4,333 days to orbit the sun.
Saturn is the sixth planet in the solar system and is the second largest planet that has an
equatorial diameter of 120,536km and a polar diameter of 108,728km and is the flattest planet.
Saturn is a distant planet that is visible to the naked eye through the use of binoculars and the
fifth brightest object in the solar system. It is also best known for its fabulous ring with a total
of 30 plus in 7 groups. It also has more moons than the
other planets in figures of 150 moons and some
moonlets. All moons are considered as frozen worlds
but Eceladus appears to have an ocean below its frozen
surface and the Titan is considered to possible harbor
life but not Earth life-like. The largest moons are Titan
and Rhea. Saturn is composed of mostly hydrogen and
its rings are made mostly of chunks of ice and small
amounts of carbonaceous dust which stretches out
more than 120,700km from the planet but is incredibly (https://space-facts.com/planets-solar-system)

thin about 20 meters thick. The top layers of the upper

atmosphere are mostly ammonia ice. The clouds are largely water ice below the top layer and
followed by layers of cold hydrogen and sulfur ice mixtures. It took up 10,756 days or 29.5
years to orbit the Sun and thus earned the nickname, “Lubadsagush” from the ancient Assyrians
which means “oldest of the old” for its slow movement.
Uranus is described as the “rolling around the Sun on its side” because it is
tipped over on its side with an axial axis of 98 degrees. Uranus is the seventh
planet with an equatorial diameter of 51, 118km and a polar diameter of 49,
946km. It is also referred to “ice giant” planet with its hydrogen upper layer
mixed with helium and below that is an icy mantle which surrounds rock and ice
core. It can even hit the coldest temperature compared with other planets into -
224 ̊ C. The pale color of blue of the planet is due to the upper atmosphere which
(https://space-facts.com is made up of water, ammonia, methane ice crystals. It has 27 moons which
/planets-solar-system) among them are Miranda, Titania, Ariel, Umbriel and Oberon and has 13 rings.

 There are eleven (11) inner rings and two (2) outer rings which are made of small particles, ranging
from a dust-sized particles to small boulders. It turns on its axis once every 17 hours and 14 minutes
and makes one trip around the Sun for about 30,687 days or 84Earth years.
Neptune is the eight planet from the Sun, the most distant planet and the
smallest “gas giant” among the “gas giant planets” with its equatorial
diameter of 49,528 km and a polar diameter of 48,682km. But being smaller
than Uranus, Neptune has a greater mass for its heavy atmosphere and is
made up of layers of hydrogen, helium and methane gases that is enclosed
by a layer of water, ammonia, and methane ice and the inner core of the
planet is rock. Neptune has a very active climate on which large storms whirl
through its upper atmosphere and high-speed winds track around the planet (https://space-facts.com
up 600 meters per second. One of the largest storm was called the Great Dark /planets-solar-system)
Spot that lasted for five (5) years. It also has a thin collection of 5 rings likely
made up of ice particles mixed with dust grains and possibly coated with a carbon-based substance.
A very interesting moon was also caught up by its gravitation pull called Triton along with its other
13 moons. Triton was described as the coldest world in the solar system. Compared to the other
planets, Neptune spins on its axis very rapidly that takes 16 hours to make a rotation because this
planet is not a solid body. And it takes 60,190 days or 164.8 Earth years to finally take a one trip
around the Sun.
