A. Introduction
I. Introduction (Time Frame: 60 minutes)
In this lesson, you will learn about the changes in the Earth’s surface caused by
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. You will understand that volcanic activities and
earthquakes alter the landscape in an unexpected and remarkable way. The movement of
plates on the crust is often associated by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Earthquakes happen when actual crustal plates move and cause the shaking of
the ground. There are two types of earthquakes. These are volcanic and tectonic
earthquakes.
A volcanic earthquake happens with a strong volcanic eruption while a tectonic
earthquake is caused by the movement of the earth’s crust.
A tectonic earthquake can happen above ground or beneath the ocean. The
magnitude and intensity of an earthquake are used to determine its strength. The
magnitude of an earthquake refers to the amount of energy released from its focus.
Focus is the break in the ground caused by the pressure of the moving rocks. This is the
place where the earthquake originates. Epicenter is the ground above the focus.
Intensity is its effects on the earth's surface, humans, and their structures. Strong
earthquakes are extremely destructive. They have an impact on people's lives and cause
human suffering. Landslides, ground fissures, liquefaction, and uplifting of landforms
occur, resulting in the death of people and the destruction of their property.
Philippines is in an area where the crustal plates are weak. This region is referred to
as the Circumpacific Belt or the Pacific Ring of Fire where there are a lot of active
volcanoes.
 Volcanic eruptions can be explosive or nonexplosive. When large amounts of
pyroclastic material are ejected into the air, an eruption becomes explosive. Lava, ashes,
volcanic glass, and rocks are examples of pyroclastic materials. A large lahar can cover
a large area of land, converting a residential or agricultural area into a desert-like
environment. Lahar and pyroclastic deposits have an impact on the river system as well.
Water quality degradation, crop damage, and vegetation destruction. A violent eruption
may either create a larger volcano or destroy a part or the entire shape of the volcano.
Hot lava can travel or flow for long distances, burning, burying, or damaging anything
in its path, including people, houses, and trees. Fissures on the ground around the
volcano can also be seen due to extreme tremors.
Look at the given pictures below, which were taken when Taal Volcano erupted in January
2020. What were the effects of this eruption?

Mt. Taal Volcano eruption caused severe damage to people, properties, and
environment.

Look at the picture below. Describe the two pictures.

 On January 12, 2020, the Department of Science and Technology Philippine
Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (DOST-PHIVOLCS) raised the alert
level of Taal Volcano in Batangas (Region IV-A) to four after it demonstrated
an increasing seismic activity. An Alert Level 4 means that a hazardous
explosive eruption is possible within hours to days, therefore, declaring a
“danger zone” of up to 14 kilometers from the main crater.
The Philippine’s disaster-response agency, the National Disaster Risk
Reduction Management Council or NDRMMC, said that 13,000 villagers
have been moved away from the area.
What is PHIVOLCS and NDRMMC? Are you aware of these two agencies?
How important are they?
Do you know who is our NDRMMC coordinator? What activities do you
remember that the NDRMMC involved with?

Learning Task 3
A. Directions: Read the directions carefully and perform the activity below as instructed
then, answer the questions. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

A
ctivity Title: When Crustal Plates
Move Materials:
2 blocks of wood/styrofoam (If not available, use 2 empty
boxes of shoes or any box of the same size) table, toy
 structures/figures

Procedures:
1. Place the 2 blocks of
wood/styrofoam/boxes on
the table. Then, paste the toy
structures/figures on top of
the 2 blocks of
wood/styrofoam/boxes.
2. Push the two pieces together
lightly, and then push the one
piece away from you along the
table top while pulling the other
piece towards you. Refer
to the illustration at the right.
3. Try pushing and pulling smoothly. Observe how they stick to each other.

Questions:
1. What happened when you rubbed the two styrofoams against each other?
2. What was the effect of pushing and pulling the boxes with the toy structures on the top of
the boxes?
3. What are your observations, and how do you apply them to real-life situations?
B. Directions: Investigate the following and describe each of the Earth's effects.
Determine whether it is a volcanic eruption or an earthquake. Write your answers on your
answer sheet.
1. Ground fissures
2. hot lava
3. Tsunami
4. Landslide
5. Pyroclastic material

C. Engagement
