VOLCANO

ES
Volcanoes are majestic natural wonders that captivate our
imagination and shape the landscapes around us. In this
presentation, we will learn about:

• Volcano
•Types of Volcanoes
•Active and Inactive Volcanous
 RING OF FIRE
The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-
shaped belt of intense volcanic
activity and frequent
earthquakes that encircles the
edges of the Pacific Ocean. This
region is home to approximately
75% of the world's active
volcanoes and is caused by the
movement and collision of
tectonic plates. The Ring of Fire
has a significant impact on
Earth's surface and the lives of
people living in its vicinity.
Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust through which
molten rock, gas, and other materials are released from deep
within the Earth.
Volcanoes are formed when molten rock called
magma rises to the surface. The magma can
come from the Earth's mantle or from
subduction zones where one tectonic plate
slides beneath another.
THE PARTS OF VOLCANO ARE:

SUMMIT is the highest point of the apex of the

volcano. At the summit , you have an opening called
vent.

SLOPES are the sides of flanks of a volcano that radiate

from the main central vent.

BASE is lower outer part of the

volcano.

TYPES OF

VOLCANOES
BASED ON
STRUCTURE
 DESCRIPTION:

Broad, gently sloping volcanoes with a shape resembling a

warrior's shield. They are formed from layers of cooled
lava.
ERUPTION STYLE:

Generally characterized by non-explosive, effusive

eruptions with the outpouring of lava flows.

EXAMPLES:
Mauna Loa in Hawaii, Mount
Etna in Italy
SHIELD VOLCANO
DESCRIPTION:

Tall and symmetrical volcanoes

composed of layers of lava flows and
volcanic ash.
ERUPTION STYLE:
Can have both explosive
eruptions and effusive
eruptions.
EXAMPLES:
Mount Mayon,Mount
Arayat,Mount kanlaon,Mount
Apo COMPOSITE CONE
VOLCANO
DESCRIPTION:
Steep-sided, conical volcanoes formed by
explosive eruptions of ash, cinders, and
dust.
ERUPTION STYLE:
Explosive eruptions that eject fragments
of lava and volcanic ash into the air.
EXAMPLES: CINDER CONE VOLCANO
Taal Volcano,Mount
Babuyan,Mount
Mayabobo,Mount Babuyan
 TYPES OF
VOLCANOES
BASED ON
ACTIVITY
TYPES OF VOLCANOES BASES ON
ACTIVITY
Another way of classifying volcanoes according to the Philippine Institute of
Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) is based on their activity as indicated
by their behavior and historical records.
• ACTIVE VOLCANOES are those volcanoes that have had at least one
eruption during the past 10,000 years. They are those that erupted recently
and still showing regular activity like emissions of gases, lava and ash
flows
•INACTIVE VOLCANOES on the other hand, are those that have
not erupted for the last 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt
again in a comparable time scale of the future. There are no signs of
volcanicactivity for a long period of time because magma supply is
cut off.
TYPES OF VOLCANOES BASES ON ACTIVITY
•POTENTIALLY ACTIVE VOLCANOES are those that have no records
of volcanic activity but are morphologically young-looking.

Our Country has more than a hundred volcanoes. Twenty four (24) are active
while the rest are either potentially active or inactive volcanoes.Below are
some examples of active volcanoes

Mount Banahaw Mount Hibok hibok Mount kanlaon Mount Apo

TRAVEL THE PHILIPPINES:
Philippines is home to several volcanoes due to its location in the Pacific Ring
of Fire. Study the picture of some famous volcanoes in the country below
answer the guide questions in a separate sheet of paper.

Mount Makiling Mount Apo Taal Volcano

Mount Pinatubo Mount Mayon

GUIDE QUESTION:
1.Which of these volcanoes is/are present in your community
or region?
2.Which of these volcanoes would you like to visit?why?

3.Describes the Structure of these volcanoes.

4. What news have you heard about these volcanoes?

5. Is it dangerous to live in areas near a volcano?
