B. Review of the Past Lesson

(2 minutes)
Before we go on to our new topic, let’s recall
what you have learned from previous
discussion.

What are the different types of volcanic

eruption?
- Phreatic or hydrothermal, is a
- Give 1 John. stream-driven eruption as the hot
rocks come in contact with water. It is
short-lived, characterized by ash
columns but may be an onset of a
larger eruption.
-Mary, how about you?
- 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.

- Strombolian, a periodic weak to

Another 1 Chris. violent eruption characterized by
fountain lava, just like the Irazu
Volcano in Costa Rica.

What have you learned Ted? - Vulcanian, characterized by tall

eruption columns that reach up to 20
km
high with pyroclastic flow and ashfall
tephra like that of Paricutin Volcano in
Mexico.
And lastly, Jane.
- Plinian, excessively explosive
type of eruption of gas and
pyroclastics, just like our Pinatubo
Volcano in Zambales.
That’s great everyone! It seems that you really
understood our previous lesson about the
types of volcanic eruptions.

Do you have any question regarding our past - None, Sir!

discussion?

C. Motivation (4 minutes)

Before we go on to the main discussion, I will

be playing a video and after watching, all you
need to do is to give your insights about the
video clip that you have watched.

(video was retrieved from

http://www.animaker.com)

What can you say about the video that you

had watched?
-Yes Grace? -Sir I think we will be discussing on
how we can get energy from the
 volcano.

-Another student.
(the students will raise their hands)

-Yes Leo.
-Sir it is all about how the volcanoes
erupt. Their characteristics and their
pattern or signs before the volcanic

D. Activity (10 minutes)

1. Introduction of the Activity

Today we will be discussing the energy from

the volcano and the signs of an impending
volcanic eruption.

Class, do you have any insights about the topic

that we will be discussing?

- Yes Joey, Please stand up. -Sir, we can get electricity from the
heat coming from the volcano.

- Thank you Joey!

Conversion of heat energy to electrical energy

is the main focus of energy from the volcano.

2. Activity Proper
Since our country is a home to more than a
hundred volcanoes, energy has been tapped
from them. Actually, the Philippines ranks
second in the world’s production of geothermal
energy. According to the Department of
Energy, 14.4% of the country’s total power
generation is produced from geothermal
energy. The production of electricity from
geothermal energy is cheaper than the
electricity production using natural gas, coal,
and hydropower.

What is geothermal energy? - The Earth is believed to be extremely

-Yes Aaron? hot from within. This heat from the
 Earth’s interior is a source of energy
called geothermal energy. The heat of
the Earth warms up water which is
trapped in rock formations beneath its
surface.

How is geothermal energy generated?

-Yes Mia - Geothermal energy is generated in
two ways: geothermal power plants
and geothermal heat pumps. They
differ in the depth of heat source to
produce energy.
-Very good Mia.

As what Mia says, in geothermal power

plants, the heat from deep inside the Earth is
used to produce steam to generate electricity
compared with geothermal heat pumps that
use the heat coming from close to the Earth’s
surface to heat water or provide heat for
buildings.
I have here picture of geothermal power plant
can somebody decipher the meaning of the
picture.

Marvin, what can you say about the picture?

- Power plants are built in an area
where it is particularly hot just below
the
surface such as near a group of
geysers, hot springs, or volcanic
activity
-very good Marvin.

The following steps are followed to generate

electricity in a geothermal power
plant:
1. Wells are drilled deep into the Earth to
pump steam or hot water to the surface.
 2. When the water reaches the surface, the
drop in pressure causes the water to turn into
steam.
3. The steam spins a turbine, which is
connected to a generator that produces
electricity.
4. Cooling tower cools the steam which it
condenses back to water.
5. The cooled water is pumped back into the
Earth to begin the process again.

Is that clear class? -yes sir!

How do volcanic eruptions affect society?

-Mary Rose, how eruptions of volcano affects -Volcanic eruption mostly bring
society negative effects. It can cause loss
of lives and properties. As the lava
flows or pyroclastic materials are
ejected in the air, they can destroy
-that’s a very nice answer. anything in their way.

Actually, it has a good and a bad side. For

example, the eruption of Pinatubo in 1991, one
of the longest volcanic eruptions, has
caused the decrease in the Earth’s surface
temperature for almost two years.

How does this happened?

-The strong winds during its eruption
spread the aerosol particles from the
plume around the globe. The result
was a measurable cooling of the
Earth’s surface for a period of almost
two years.
Despite the advantages that people get from
volcanic eruption, the major concern now is
how to reduce the negative effects of disasters
to reduce loss and save lives.

Now let’s discuss the signs of impending

volcanic eruption.

Class, I know that you watched some videos

on TV about the eruption of Mt. Mayon. What
do you think are the signs that Mt. Mayon is
about to erupt?
Paolo, what do you think are the signs of
impending volcanic eruption?
- Earthquakes, flocks of birds are
flying and increase in
temperature.
Paolo is right. There are different signs that the
volcano is about to erupt.

I will be flashing picture and the only thing that

you do is to decipher its meaning.

D. Analysis(5 minutes)

Based on the given illustrations, list

down the signs of impending volcanic
eruption.
E. Abstraction(15 minutes)
I need 2 volunteers who will recites the 10
signs of impending volcanic eruption

-Yes Joan 1) Increase in the frequency of

volcanic quakes with rumbling
 sounds; occurrence of volcanic
tremors.
2) Increased steaming activity;
change in color of steam emission
from white to gray due to
entrained ash.
3) Crater glow due to presence of
magma at or near the crater.
4) Ground swells (or inflation),
ground tilt and ground fissuring
due to magma intrusion.
5) Localized landslides, rock falls
and landslides from the summit
area which may not attributable to
heavy rains.

6) Noticeable increase inn the

-How about you Marilou. extent of drying up of vegetation
around the volcano’s upper
slopes.
7) Increase in the temperature of hot
springs, wells ( Bulusan and
Canlaon) and crater lake (Taal)
near the volcano;
8) Noticeable variation in the
chemical content of springs, crater
lakes within the vicinity of the
volcano;
9) Drying up of springs/wells around
the volcano; and,
10) Development of new thermal
areas and/or reactivation of old
ones; appearance of solfataras.
