Science 6 Q4 Week 1 Day 1

The document discusses how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can change the Earth's surface, with earthquakes occurring due to the movement of tectonic plates and volcanic eruptions resulting from a build-up of pressure underground. These seismic and volcanic events can cause damage through earth movements, tsunamis, landslides and lava flows, negatively impacting humans, animals and plants near the affected areas. The document also provides information on earthquake and volcano types and recommends preparedness for natural disasters.

Changes Due to Earthquakes

and Volcanic Eruptions


(SCIENCE 6 Q4-WEEK 1)
•Describe the changes
on the Earth’s surface
as a result of
earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions.
Forces that Affect
Changes on the
Earth’s Surface /
The Effects of
Earthquakes and
volcanic Eruptions
In this lesson, you will
learn how
earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions
change the Earth’s
surface. Also, you will
understand the
effects of these
calamities to humans,
plants, animals, and
properties.
The movement of
plates on the
crust is often
accompanied by
earthquakes and
volcanic
eruptions. An
earthquake is the
shaking of the
ground.
Earthquakes happen when the crustal plates
move.
As these plates move, some parts of the earth’s
crust are pushed toward each other or away from
each other. Their movement causes nearby rocks to
move as well.
These rocks break and slide past each other.
When the rocks break, waves of energy are
released and sent out through the Earth.
These waves
trigger an
earthquake. The
motion of the
ground during
an earthquake is
measured by an
instrument
called a
seismograph.
There are two types of
earthquakes. These are the
volcanic earthquake and
tectonic earthquake.
A volcanic
earthquake
happens with
a strong
volcanic
eruption.
A tectonic earthquake is caused by the movement of
the earth’s crust. A tectonic earthquake may occur
above ground or beneath the ocean.
TECTONIC
EARTHQUAKE
Strong earthquakes or shaking of the
ground can loosen the soil and rocks
and can cause disastrous landslide and
destruction to properties and
surroundings above the ground.
Earthquake and sudden upward movement of the seafloor
during faulting (crack) along a plate boundary cause the water to
rush upward then huge surface waves are created and can reach
a nearby coast. This is known as TSUNAMI – (a Japanese word
for “bay or harbor wave”) a gigantic wave sometimes 150 km.
long traveling at about 180 km/h and increases in height while
traveling, rising as high as 30m as it approaches shore. When a
tsunami is about to come, water is first observed to move out to
sea uncovering long stretches of coastal bottom. In a few minutes
giant waves rush and carrying everything within reach back to
the sea.
VOLCANIC
ERUPTION
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 the melting of
rocks, producing magma.
Inside the volcano is a magma chamber. Molten
rock inside this chamber is forcefully driven
out by the intense heat and pressure. The
release of magma from the crater is called
volcanic eruption. The magma that flows out of
the surface is called lava. When volcano erupts,
it throws out lava together with gases, rocks,
and ashes.
Region IV-A CALABARZON has numerous volcanoes.
These volcanoes are Banahaw which is located in
boundaries of Laguna and Quezon provinces, and Taal
located in the province of Batangas that has recently been
active with records of hydrovolcanic activity last January
2020 that produces numerous recorded earthquakes
within and across the province of Batangas. The
PHIVOLCS categorized Philippine volcanoes into active
volcanoes, potentially active volcanoes, and inactive
volcanoes.
Home Based Activity
Do the following task

Learning Task 2: Describe the different changes on the


Earth’s surface as results of earthquakes and volcanic
eruption. Write down your observations from the pictures
below.

Learning Task 4: Answer the following questions in


relation to the information learned from the lesson. Do
these on your answer sheet.
Copy:

Remember that both earthquakes and volcanic


eruptions bring changes to Earth’s surface. These
may bring different effects to people, animals, and
plants but these natural phenomena are beyond
human’s control. All we can do is to manifest
preparedness during emergencies where there are
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
HOME-BASED ACTIVITY
Learning Task 5:
Make a photo collage of the different
changes/effects of a volcanic eruption and
earthquake to people, properties, plants and
animals. Do this in a short bond paper.
