Lesson
Introduction to Volcanoes
1
The Philippines is located along the Ring of Fire. As a result, it is home
to many volcanoes. The most famous among our volcanoes are Mayon
Volcano, Taal Volcano and Mount Pinatubo. The Philippines also sits on a
unique tectonic setting ideal to volcanism and earthquake activity. It is
situated at the boundaries of two tectonic plates – the Philippine Sea Plate
and the Eurasian plate – both of which subduct or dive beneath the
archipelago along the deep trenches along its east and west seaboard.
What’s In
This module was designed to help Grade 9 students like you to learn
more about the different volcanoes in our country. It will help you understand
how volcanoes are formed and how the energy from volcanoes can be
harnessed and be utilized by the people. As you go through this module, you
will encounter activities that will enhance your mental ability and reasoning
skills.
This module includes the different active and inactive volcanoes in the
Philippines, the different factors affecting volcanic eruption, different styles of
volcanic eruption and the energy coming from volcanoes.
So, enjoy while reading and doing the different activities of this module.

What’s New
Across:
1. Volcanoes that have a record of eruption within the last 600 years.
2. A natural opening in the surface of the earth.
3. Volcanoes that have not erupted for the last 10,000 years.
4. An excessively explosive type of eruption of gas and pyroclastics.
5. Formed by the accumulation of lava that oozes out from the volcano

What is It
Structure of Volcano
Sill is a flat piece of rock
formed when magma hardens in a
crack in a volcano. The vent is an
opening in Earth’s surface through
which volcanic materials escape. The
side of a volcano is called flank. A
conduit is an underground passage
magma travels through while throat
is the conduit that ejects lava and
volcanic ash. Ash are fragments of
lava or rock smaller than 2 mm in
size that are blasted into the air by
volcanic explosions and ash clouds
are clouds of ash formed by volcanic
explosions.

Classification of Volcanoes: According to Record of Eruption
Inactive volcanoes, on
the other hand, are those that
have not erupted for the last
10,000 years and their
physical form is being
changed by agents of
weathering and erosion
through formation of deep and
long gullies. (Pictures: Mount
Cabuyao in Tuba, Benguet,
Mt. Pulag in Bokod, Benguet,
Mt. Amuyao ranges
from Barlig, Mt. Province to
Batad, Ifugao and Mt.
Balungao in Balungao,
Pangasinan).
http://www.pinoymountaineers.com
Extinct volcanoes have not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years
and is not expected to erupt in a comparable scale of the future.
Volcanoes come in different shapes and sizes, and each structure has
a unique history of eruption. There are three basic cone shapes namely: cinder
cones, shield cones and composite cones or stratovolcanoes.
6
The image on the left shows how a
cinder cone looks like. CINDER CONES are
built from ejected lava fragments. It has a
steep slope and a wide crater.
Phreatic or hydrothermal is a
stream-driven eruption as the hot water
come in contact with water. It is short
lived characterized by ash columns. (Mt.
Bulusan in Sorsogon).
https://www.rappler.com
7
Phreatomagmatic is a violent eruption
due to the contact between water and magma.
As a result, a large column of very fine ash and
high-speed and sideway emission of
pyroclastics called base surges are observed.
(Mt. Mayon on April 3, 2018).

Additional Activities
Picture Perfect!
Take a picture of yourself while doing this simple experiment on volcanic
eruption. Paste your “before and after” picture in a short bond paper.
Materials:
Baking soda Plastic bottle Masking tape
White vinegar Food coloring Card board
Procedures:
1. Use a card board to build a cone-shape
structure of your volcano.
2. Cute the tip of the cone just enough to
fit the mouth of your plastic bottle.
Secure it using a tape.
3. Measure 2-3 spoonful of baking soda
and 1 cup of white vinegar.
4. Add 5 drops of food coloring (red
and yellow) to the vinegar and mix it well.
5. Fill your volcano with baking soda.
(Be careful not to get any baking soda
in your eyes).
6. Pour the vinegar into your volcano.
The vinegar will react with the baking
soda and cause an “eruption”.
