Introductory Concept
A volcano is a spot in the where molten rock,
volcanic ash and certain types of gases escape from an underground
chamber. Despite their reputation as destructive forces, volcanoes were
critical to the development of life on Earth. Without volcanoes, most of
Earth's water would still be trapped in the crust and mantle. Early
volcanic eruptions led to the Earth's second atmosphere, which led to
Earth's modern atmosphere. Besides water and air, volcanoes are
responsible for land, another necessity for many life forms. More than 80
percent of the Earth's surface--above and below sea level--is of volcanic
origin. Volcanoes may be devastating but ultimately Earth's life would
not be the same, if it existed at all, without volcanoes.
Learning Skills
In this activity sheet, the learners should be able to:
Describe the different types of volcanoes based on activity
and shape of cones
Differentiate the different forms of volcanic eruptions
Identify active, inactive and potentially active volcanoes
found in the Philippines

composition and the amount of dissolved gases it contains.

Directions: Read each statement. On the blank provided, write T if the Application
statement is true and write F if the statement is false Now that you are familiar with the different types of volcanoes and
_______1. The Philippines has more than a hundred volcanoes. volcanic eruptions, identify each volcanic form and then fill in the
chart
_______ 2. All inactive volcanoes have no possibility of erupting ever
again. with the appropriate information about each form.
_______ 3. Plinian eruption is the most explosive type of eruption
_______ 4. Composite volcano has broad, gentle slopes and built by the
eruption of fluid basalt lava.
5. Phreatomagmatic eruption is steam-driven eruption as hot rocks
from the volcano come in contact with water.

When studying volcanoes, it is important to understand how

volcanoes are classified. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology
and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) classify volcanoes according to its
eruptive history.

ACTIVE VOLCANOES: Erupted within historical times (within the last 600
years) or those that erupted within the last 10,000 years based on the
analyses of material from young volcanic deposits.
POTENTIALLY ACTIVE VOLCANOES: Morphologically young-looking, with
no historical or analytical records of eruption but shows thermal and/or

INACTIVE VOLCANOES: No recorded eruptions; physical form has been
intensively weathered and eroded, bearing deep and long gullies. Answer Key

Remember
A volcano is a rupture in the earth's surface that allows hot material
from the interior, including steam and lava, to escape.
A volcano is classified as active if it is currently erupting or is expected to
erupt again. Volcanoes that are not active are classified as either
potentially active (may become active) or inactive.
Composite cones, shield volcanoes, and cinder cones are some of the
types of volcanoes formed.
In order to understand volcanoes, it is important to understand the
types of volcanic eruptions which are what in the end a volcano will
mostly be known for. The types of volcanic eruptions depend on
various factors such as chemistry of magma, temperature, viscosity, volume,
presence of groundwater, and water and gas content.
