VOLCANOES
Content Standard: The learners demonstrate understanding of volcanoes found in the Philippines.
Objectives: Describe the different types of volcanoes and volcanic eruption
ACTIVITY 1: Volcano Concept Map
Objective: Describe the volcanoes.
Materials: Pictures of a volcanoes
Procedure: Based on the given pictures, give six descriptions of a volcano. Present your answer in a concept
map as shown below. Write your answers in each hexagon.

Objective: Identify the basic parts volcanoes.
Procedure: Based on the picture given picture, label the parts of a volcano. Choose your answer in the word
bank. Write your answer in the rectangle.

Types of Volcano According to Shape
There are three types of volcanic cones: shield, cinder, and composite or stratovolcanoes. Shield
volcanoes are made up of low-viscosity lava that flows out from the volcano and forms like a broad dome or a
warrior's shield. Cinder volcanoes are made of cinders or igneous rocks built with mainly ejected lava fragments.
They have a wide crater and a steep slope, erupt with lava fountains and are the most common and abundant
type of volcano. Composite volcanoes, or stratovolcanoes, are tall mountains made of lava, pyroclastic deposits,
or strata (layers) from explosive eruptions that can extend hundreds of meters in the atmosphere and other
related deposits. These layers of lava, pyroclastic deposits, and mass-flow deposits took thousands to hundreds
of years to build into a stratovolcano with a perfect cone shape. They are the most common and abundant Pacific
Ring of Fire volcanoes.

ACTIVITY 3: Matchy Matchy Volcanoes

Objective: Identify and describe the type of volcano.
Procedure: Based on the given picture, identify the type of volcano and then describe the volcano below.

Types of Volcano According to Record of Eruption

According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), there are three types
of volcanoes according to their history of eruption: active, potentially active, and inactive. Active volcanoes are
documented volcanoes that have historically erupted within the last 600 or 10,000 years based on young volcanic
deposit materials. Potentially active volcanoes appear young, but there are no records of eruptions in history or
analysis. Inactive volcanoes with deep and long gullies have been heavily eroded and weathered, but there have
been no recorded eruptions within the last 600 or 10,000 years. Below is a list of some volcanoes in the
Philippines.

ACTIVITY 4: It’s more Volcanoes in the Philippines!

Objective: Classify volcanoes as active and inactive
Direction: Classify whether active or inactive volcano. Potentially active volcanoes are already given. Write your
answer on the last column.

Types of Volcanic Eruption
There are five types of volcanic eruptions: phreatic, phreatomagmatic, strombolian, vulcanian, and
plinian. A phreatic eruption occurs when magma rises in the volcano, heating the rocks and boiling the water.
As a result, steam, or primarily white ash, is released in the volcano's crater. The phreatomagmatic eruption
occurs when magma inside the volcano melts the rocks and touches the bodies of water. As a result, it explodes
and creates black ash and water. A strombolian eruption occurs when lava, rocks, and ashes explode like
fireworks, usually creating lightning during the eruption. A vulcanian eruption occurs when the ashes of erupted
volcano go upward to the stratosphere. As a result, it darkens and lowers the temperature of a particular place.
The plinian eruption is the strongest among the five eruptions due to the high silica content that covers the
volcano's crater. As a result, a high amount of gas is trapped and explodes excessively.

ACTIVITY 5: Matching Type

Objective: Describe and identify the different types of volcanic eruption.
TEST I. Match Column A that describes Column B. Write the letter in the space provided.

_______2. eruption cause by water that come contact with B. Phreatic or Hydrothermal
magma
_______3. fountain of lava C. Phreatomagmatic
_______4. produce excessively explosive type of eruption of D Plinian
gas and pyroclastic
_______5. steam-driven eruption cause by rocks that come E. Strombolian
contact with water
F Vulcanian
TEST II. Identify the types of volcanic eruption based on the picture given.
