EFFECTS OF VOLCANOES
Name: __________________________ Section: ___________________________
Most Essential Learning Competency

Illustrate how energy from volcanoes may be tapped for human use. (S9ES-IIIc-
d-14)
Learning Objectives:
The learners shall be able to:
1. cite gases that dissolved in liquids in the form of lava;
2. describe the flow of gas in the different liquids;
3. describe the good and bad effects of a volcanic eruption; and
4. state signs of an impending volcanic eruption.
Time Allotment: 4 Hours
Key Concepts
• Magma that flows or erupts onto Earth's surface is called lava. Nearly all magmas
contain gases. It is a mixture of minerals and contains a small amount of dissolved
gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur. Gas gives magmas their
explosive character because the volume of gas expands as pressure is reduced. The
high temperature and pressure under Earth's crust keep magma in its fluid state.
• Carbon dioxide and water vapor are the most important gases in lava.

• The amount of dissolved gases in the magma affect its viscosity. When gases begin
to escape from the magma, the effect of gas bubbles on the bulk viscosity is
variable. The growing gas bubbles will exhibit low viscosity and the viscosity of the
residual liquid will increase as gas escapes.
• Volcanic eruption is often associated with positive and negative effects.
o Negative effects
▪ It can cause loss of lives and properties
▪ As the lava flows or pyroclastic materials are ejected in the air,
they can destroy anything in their way.
o Positive effects
▪ Aerosol particles from volcanic eruptions helps in decreasing
Earth’s surface temperature.
▪ Some eruptions create spectacular scenery in its wake and
produced very rich soils for farming.
▪ People also became creative by making earthenware out of the
ashfall from volcanic eruptions.
• Despite the advantages that people get from volcanic eruption, the major concern
now is how to reduce the negative effects of disasters to reduce loss and save lives.
Signs of Impending Volcanic Eruption

According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(PHIVOLCS), the government agency tasked with monitoring earthquakes and
volcanoes in the country, the following are commonly observed signs that a
volcano is about to erupt. These may vary from one volcano to another.
1. Increase in the frequency of volcanic quakes with rumbling sounds;

occurrence of volcanic tremors.
2. Increased steaming activity; change in color of steam emission from white
to gray due to entrained ash.
3. Crater glow to presence of magma at or near the crater.
4. Ground swell (or inflation), the ground tilt and ground fissuring due to
magma intrusion.
5. Localized landslides, rockfalls, and landslides from the summit area which
are not attributable to heavy rains.
6. Noticeable increase in the extent of drying up of vegetation around the
volcano’s upper slopes.
7. Increase in the temperature of hot springs, wells (e.g. Bulusan and
Kanlaon) and crater lake (e.g. 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).

Prediction: Gas in water escape quickly than gas in syrup.
Guide Questions:
1. Water flows faster as the bubbles move out on the surface while gas in syrup doesn’t
come out easily.
2. Gas has a sluggish movement in viscous liquid such as syrup than in water which is
less viscous and travels faster than syrup
