1. Biosphere - is a global ecosystem composed of living organisms (biota) and the abiotic (non-
living) factors from which they derive energy and nutrients.
- Is the area of the planet where organisms live, including the ground and the air.
- the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their
relationships, including their interaction with the elements of
the lithosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
2. Hydrologic cycle - cycle that involves the continuous circulation of water in the Earth-
atmosphere system.
- Is biogeochemical cycle that describes the continuous movement of water on, above and
below the surface of the Earth.
- Is the cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere.
3. Hydrosphere - is the combined mass of water found on, under, and above the surface of a
planet, minor planet, or natural satellite.
- Is the total amount of water on a planet.
- Includes water in oceans, lakes, streams, ponds, groundwater, glaciers and other ice
forms.
4. Interconnection - The relationship between all things, both animate and inanimate, and all
processes, both natural and human.
- A mutual connection between two or more things.
- Is a connection with other things that are related to each other.
5. Life-support system - any mechanical device that enables a person to live and usually work
in an environment such as outer space or underwater in which he could not otherwise
function or survive for any appreciable amount of time.
- Life support system is any natural or human-engineered (constructed or made) system
that furthers the life of the biosphere in a sustainable fashion.
6. Lithosphere - is the rocky outer part of the Earth
- is the coolest and most rigid part of the Earth.
- is the rigid, outermost shell of a terrestrial-type planet or natural satellite.
7. Convection - is single or multiphase fluid flow that occurs spontaneously due to the
combined effects of material property heterogeneity and body forces on a fluid, most
commonly density and gravity.
- Process by which heat is transferred by movement of a heated fluid such as air or water.
- Occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the
place of particles with less heat energy.
8. Precipitation - rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
- Is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth.
- Precipitation is a process in a chemical reaction which causes solid particles to
become separated from a liquid.
9. Solar energy - is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-
evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar
architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis.
- Is the transformation of heat, the energy that comes from the sun.
- is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy.
10. Subsystem - A subsystem is a set of elements, which is a system itself, and a component of a
larger system.
- a self-contained system within a larger system.
- Planet Earth is made up of four overlapping subsystems that contain all of world’s land
masses, water sources, living organisms, and gases.
The lesson that is being discuss in lesson 2 is all about the four subsystem of earth,
which is the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and the biosphere. Each of the
subsystem have different characteristics. The biosphere is the solid layer of the earth, the
hydrosphere is composed of all the water on earth including ice sheets, the atmosphere is
the gaseous part of earth, and lastly the biosphere which is the part we of earth where all
life form is found.
This lesson is very important for us to understand all the things that is happening around
us. Example is when earthquakes happen, when earthquakes happen we quickly an
associate as a geological event. All of us surely experience effects for this subsystem. Like,
rain which comes for the atmosphere. All of this subsystem is a driving factor for us to help
us become a successful species.
It is very important to understand that concept that this lesson bring. We as the highest
form of life in this planet should give importance to all the things around us. We should give
importance to the soil we step in, to the air we breathe, to the water we drink, and to all the
living things that surround wither to the smallest grass or the tallest tree.

METAMORPHIC ROCK
HOW IS IT FORM? - Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat,
high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these
factors.
WHAT IS LOOKS LIKE? - They are crystalline and often have a “squashed” (foliated or
banded) texture.
EXAMPLE OF THIS ROCKS – Common metamorphic rocks include phyllite, schist, gneiss,
quartzite and marble.
IGNEOUS ROCKS
HOW IS IT FORM? - Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and
crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is
still inside the crust.
WHAT IS LOOKS LIKE? - Igneous rocks can have many different compositions, depending
on the magma they cool from. They can also look different based on their cooling
conditions.
EXAMPLE OF THIS ROCKS – Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are: diabase, diorite,
gabbro, granite, pegmatite, and peridotite.

MAGMA
1. Igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma (or lava). As hot,
molten rock rises to the surface, it undergoes changes in temperature and pressure that
cause it to cool, solidify, and crystallize. All told, there are over 700 known types of igneous
rock, the majority of which are formed beneath the surface of the Earth’s crust.
2. When igneous rocks undergo weathering and erosion, they are broken into smaller pieces of
sediment.
3. Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks. Pieces of rock
are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment
is trapped.
4. The forces that causes sedimentary rocks to turn into metamorphic rocks are great pressure
and tremendous heat change.
5. Metamorphic rocks can be transform into igneous rocks if the metamorphic rocks continues
to heat up, it can eventually melt and become molten magma. If it eventually cools down it
turn into igneous rocks.

BASALT An igneous volcanic rock, dark gray to black, it is the volcanic
equivalent of plutonic gabbro and is rich in ferromagnesian
minerals. Basalt can be used in aggregate.

LATERAL STARTIGRAPHY
1. Absolute - Absolute time, also called chronometric time, gives us distinct measurements and
points of reference, such as 65 million years ago or 5 pm. We get these rock dates and ages
with radiometric dating techniques that tell us how old rocks are based on their rate of
decay.
2. Radioactive Decay - is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by
radiation.
3. Radiometric dating – radiometric dating also known as radioisotope dating is a technique
which is used to date materials such as rocks or carbon, in which trace radioactive impurities
were selectively incorporated when they were formed.
4. Half-life – Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value. The
term is commonly used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo
radioactive decay or how long stable atoms survive.
5. Uniformitarianism – also known as the Doctrine of Uniformity or the Uniformitarian
Principle, is the assumption that the same natural laws and processes that operate in our
present-day scientific observations have always operated in the universe in the past and
apply everywhere in the universe.

GEOLOGICAL
TIMESCALE
EONS
Eons - Long span of geologic time. In formal usage, eons are the longest portions of geologic
time (eras are the second-longest).
Hadean - informal division of Precambrian time occurring between about 4.6 billion and
about 4.0 billion years ago.
Archean - also spelled Archaean Eon, the earlier of the two formal divisions of Precambrian
time (about 4.6 billion to 541 million years ago) and the period when life first formed on
Earth.
Proterozoic - The Proterozoic is a geological eon spanning the time interval from 2500 to
541 million years ago. It is the most recent part of the Precambrian "supereon."
Phanerozoic - The Phanerozoic Eon is the current geologic eon in the geologic time scale,
and the one during which abundant animal and plant life has existed.
LESSON 2: GEO-HAZARD
1. Earthquake - a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great
destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.
2. Eruption - A volcanic eruption occurs when magma is released from a volcano. Volcanic
eruptions can be quite calm and effusive, or they can be explosive. Effusive eruptions
produce lava flows, while explosive eruptions produce ash and pyroclastic density currents.
1. The map above is a map of the pacific ring of fire. This area has many
geological events like active faults, active volcanoes etc. . . . meaning the
hazards that can appear in the surrounding areas are volcanic eruption,
earthquake, and possibly tsunami or tidal waves.
2. The most vulnerable to the hazards that might occur are the countries that is
near to the Pacific ring of fire like the Philippines, Japan, Korea, New Zealand,
and Indonesia.
3. No, this kind of maps are needed for us to prepare of the risk in living near
this kinds of areas. Maps like this are needed for it to raise awareness to the
public.
GRADE 12-HUMSS-B
Backwash - The washing of water over an expanse of sand, as after a wave breaks on a beach.
Beach - a pebbly or sandy shore, especially by the ocean between high- and low-water marks.
Beach profile - A beach profile shows the cross-sectional shape of a beach, usually from the edge of
the sea to the base of the cliff. To create a beach profile follow a straight transect line from the edge
of the sea to the end of the active beach.
Coastal deposition - is a coastal process that involves the action of waves, and how they can often
deposit sediments such as sand, rock, and pebbles. Gravity and friction play a key role in the transport
and deposition of these materials as these are the driving forces that the waves experience.
Coastal erosion - is the loss or displacement of land, or the long-term removal of sediment and rocks
along the coastline due to the action of waves, currents, tides, wind-driven water, waterborne ice, or
other impacts of storms.
Long shored drift- is a geological process that consists of the transportation of sediments along a
coast parallel to the shoreline, which is dependent on the angle incoming wave direction.
Sea level rise - is the base level for measuring elevation and depth on Earth. Hence, sea-level rise is a
climate change phenomenon through which the ocean water volume increases, mostly as a
consequence of ice-sheets and glaciers melting and water thermal expansion.
Submergence - A change in the relative levels of water and land either from a sinking of the land or a
rise of the water level.
Swash - When a wave reaches the shore, the water that rushes up the beach is known as the swash.
The water that flows back towards the sea is known as the backwash.
MODULE 9: LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION TO LIFE SCIENCE
Based on what I have learn to all started 14 billion years ago. It all started because of
the big bang, we all can trace the origin of the universe to the event. As what I have learned,
before the big bang, there was an infinitely dense, tiny ball of matter called a singularity.
Then 4.54 million years ago earth was formed, the earth is approximately one-third the age
of the universe. Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the
third planet from the Sun.
3.22 billion years ago is when life started to exist on our planet. But life on earth is
not as complex as of today. Life back then was just single celled like bacteria, microbes, and
viruses. 600 million years ago is when much more complex type of life appear, plants
appears around this time. 541 million years ago is when life starts to blossom in our planet,
around this time the Cambrian explosion happened, The event was characterized by the
appearance of many of the major phyla (between 20 and 35) that make up modern animal
life.
And lastly around 178 million years ago is when mammals starts to appear and just
about 1.8 million year ago is the time homo-sapiens appeared.
WHAT’S MORE: ACTIVITY 2: THE BIG BANG THEORY
1. From my own observation, the distance that change the most is the object that is
more distanced than the other object.
2. The distance of dot the change the least, is when the balloon is lest inflated.
3. In this activity that I have done, I can conclude that the balloon represents the
universe, and the dots represents that start and the galaxies that makes up the
universe. As the balloon gets inflated the dots goes further away from each other.
Just like the universe, the universe in currently expanding to an unknown rate
resulting for the galaxies to drift further away from each other.
2.
a) Ability to reproduce – This is one of the most important characteristic of life because
if we are not able to reproduce we will fail to keep the population steady, leading life
to be instinct.
b) Responsiveness to the environment – all life should have this characteristic
because the conditions inside our body must be carefully controlled for it to function
effectively and survive.
c) Growth and change – as all things should do grow and change, may it be in size,
strength, or mentality.

PERFORMANCE TASK 1.
Once upon a time, there was a lovely queen named Gaya. She ruled her kingdom with
peace and love. Her beauty was stunning even rivalling the likes of Athena and Aphrodite.
Her eyes is as blue as the ocean: her skin is white as snow; and her smiles is as bright as the
stars above.
One awful night, the lovely queen got sick. Which then she decide to split the parts of
her kingdom to her four sons namely Atmos, Bios, Hydros, and Geo. ‘My sons, I don’t have
much time left in this world. All of you must rise into power and be a great king to each of
your own kingdom’ says the queen. Later on that night, the lovely Queen passed away.
A few days later, the kingdom was split into four. Atmos had the part of the kingdom
high up in the mountains, so high where to the point that the clouds are on his feet. Bios has
the part of the kingdom which life prosper, his part of the kingdom is very green and is
teaming up with life. The third son which is Hydros has the part of the kingdom which is
near the oceans. And lastly Geo with his share of the kingdom being the underground
fortress.
Geo is very envious of his brothers and has plan to put a curse on them. The envious
Geo made a deal with a witch and put a curse on his brothers. “Make my brothers be one
with their kingdoms” say Geo to the witch. But the evil witch decided to include Geo in the
curse.
One by one Geo and his brothers manifested into the elements that is abundant to their
kingdom. Atmos with his kingdom being so high up in the clouds, he turns into a gaseous
particle, Hence the name Atmosphere. His anger can be heard in the form of thunder and
lighting. Hydro with his kingdom being near the ocean, his spirit turns into water particle.
Hence the name Hydrosphere. His anger can be seen in the form of a tidal wave. Geo the
envious brother became one with the ground. Hence the name Geosphere. His anger can be
felt in the form of an earthquake. And lastly, Bio which rules the part of the kingdom which
is teaming up with life, became one with nature. But, before he had passed way he bury a
seed which sprouted and grows to become the first humans.
