VOLCANIC
ERUPTION
A volcano is an opening in the Earth's
crust. Molten rocks, ashes, and
gaseous materials are forced out
through its opening. The opening of a
volcano is called the crater. In the
Philippines there are many volcanoes.
Some of them are Mt. Bulusan in
Sorsogon, Mt. Pinatubo in Zambales,
Mt. Kanlaon in Negros Oriental, and
Hibok-Hibok Volcano in Camiguin.
How does a volcanic eruption
occur?
When tectonic plates collide,
massive rocks underground deform
and trigger a build-up of
temperature and pressure. The
high temperature and pressure
results in melting of rocks,
producing magma.
Inside the volcano is a magma chamber. Molten rock

The magma that flows out on the surface is called lava.

When a erupts, it rows out lava together with gases,
rocks, and ashes.
Effects of Volcanic Eruptions Volcanic eruptions can cause
damage to plants, animals, people, and property Aside from
destruction, materials released by a volcano can have
beneficial
effects in nature. Can you give some good and bad
effects of a volcanic eruption?
Direction: Write T if the statement is correct and F if is
not
1. The release of magma from the crater iscalled
earthquake
2. Pyroclastic materials consist of lava,ashand rocks
3. Volcanic eruption may last for only a fewminutes
4. When magma flow on the surface is alreadycalled
lava 5. Taal volcanic is found in
Batangas
