Mining
 Mining, especially when done
irresponsibly, causes serious
environmental impact.
 It also causes detrimental
damage to ecosystem and local
communities.
 Damage to Air Quality - dust
may be produced in the
process of mining ore since in
order to obtain mines, it blasts
through rocks.
 Methane released by the coal
mines adds to environmental
problems since it is a
greenhouse gas.

B. Discussion
 Damage to Water Quality -
mine tailings not only pollutes
the water but also destroys
coral reefs.
 Small-scale fishermen were
greatly affected by this since
there were no more site as
fishing area.
 Damage to Land Resources -
an entire forest could be
destroyed since trees must be
cut down to be able to
construct a mining site.
 Damage to Ecosystem -
mining and the results of
mining activities completely
destroys animal habitats and
affects their health and way of
living.
 Damage to Local
Communities - health, food
security and livelihood of the
Filipinos who first inhabited
the area were in risk because
of the mining operations.
 Clean and reusable water -
includes recycling of water
used within mining sites.
 Solid waste utilization -
includes the use of solid
tailings in infrastructures and
extracting useful minerals
from the tailings.

 Geothermal gradient
refers to the increase

Use of Fossil Fuels
 In 2013, 61.25% of energy
consumption in the
Philippines relies on fossil
fuels
 Power plants rely on fossil
fuels to power up their
equipments
Process of Making Coal
 organic materials are buried in
swamp environments
 burial results to formation of peat
 greater burial results to formation
of lignite
  Clean air - includes mining  burial and metamorphism results How is Geothermal Energy

Demonstrate diagram could reduce the given
impacts of mining.
C. Practice and Mining affects, the quality of air,
Feedback water, and land resources. It also
causes detrimental damage to
ecosystem and local communities.
The main goal of mineral processing is
to make it sustainable and to generate
zero waste.
There are numerous ways to lessen the
wastes and effects on the environment.
D. Performance
Assessment Do you think the existing law on
mining should be amended? Why or
why not?
 Sub-bituminous coal
o “black lignite”
o in between lignite and
bituminous coal
 Bituminous coal
o medium rank coal
o black, shiny and hard
 Anthracite
o highest coal rank
o shiny and conchoidal
fracture
o requires very deep burial,
tectonic and contact
metamorphism
Why are fossil fuels considered a
nonrenewable energy resource?
Why are fossil fuels considered a
non-renewable energy resource?
Fossil fuel refers to all organic
deposits capable of being burnt as
fuel
Coal is a carbon-rich deposit formed
from dead plant material which
underwent the process of
coalification
Oil a black, thick, mushy liquid
which is also known as petroleum,
while natural gas is a made out of
methane and the lightest
hydrocarbon.
What are other conventions that you
can set for labelling your data?
Why is it important to clean your
data?
Use of Geothermal Energy
Advantages
 do not use fuels to
generate power
 clean source of energy
 does not produce huge
amounts of pollutants
 renewable
 available in many
areas
Write true if the statement is
correct and false if incorrect.
1. Geothermal energy is
hard to transport.
2. Geothermal power
plants do not produce
huge amounts of
pollutants.
3. Geothermal energy is
a nonrenewable source
of energy.
4. Renewable energy
sources are those that
 cannot be replenished
naturally at
anthropogenic time
scales.
5. Geothermal power
plants do not require
the use of fossil fuels
to generate power.
