IV. Understanding
II. Knowledge (41-60) 10pts each.
1.
1. c. Caldera
a. Wells are drilled deep into the Earth to pump steam
2. a. Heat form Earth’s interior or hot water to the surface (heat from inside the
3. b. Vulcanian Earth)
4. a. Kanlaon b. When the water reaches the surface, the drop in
5. a. Silica content pressure causes the water to turn into steam.
6-25 Enumeration c. The steam spins a turbine, which is connected to a
Summit generator that produces electricity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Slope
d. Cooling tower cools the steam which condenses it
Base back to water
e. The cooled water is pumped back into the earth to
Magma’s temperature begin the process again.
Silica Content or chemical composition
Amount of dissolved gases 2. Sulfur dioxide and ash fall are carried by wind
during volcanic eruption. As it circulates, it may block the
sunlight causing a decrease in the Earth’s temperature.
- Valencia, Negros -Bago City, Negros 3. Positive: Makes the soil fertile
Oriental Occidental Negative: destruction of properties and loss of
-Kidapawan, North -Bacon, Sorsogon lives.
Cotabato 4. Magma with high silica content is more viscous
-Calacan, Laguna -Tiwi, Albay than those with less silica content. The magma
-Tongonan, Leyte with less silica content is relatively fluid and travels
far.
III. Process
26-31
A. Geothermal Power Generation (6pts)
1. Hot water
2. Steam
3. Turbine – Generator
4. Cooling Tower
5. Injection well
B. Signs of impending volcanic eruption
(32-35)
 Increase in the frequency of volcanic quakes with
rumbling sounds; occurrence of volcanic tremors
 Increased steaming activity; change in color of steam
emission from white to gray due to entrained strash
 Crater glow due to presence of magma at or near the
crater
 Ground swells (or inflation, ground tilt and ground
fissuring due to magma intrusion
 Localize landslides, rockfall and landslides from the
summit area which not attributable to heavy rains
 Noticeable increase in the extent of drying up
vegetation around the volcano’s upper slopes
 Increase in the temperature of hot springs, wells, and
crater lake
 Noticeable variation in the chemical content of the
springs, crater lakes within the vicinity of the volcano
 Drying up of springs/wells around the volcano; and,
 Development of new thermal areas and/or
reactivation of old ones; appearance of solfataras.

1. Ash – particles smaller than 2mm in
diameter
2. Volcanic cinders – Between 2mm and
64mm in diameter
3. Volcanic Bombs – larger than 64mm
(2.5inches) in diameter

D. (39-40)
1. Outside the volcano – LAVA
2. Inside the volcano – MAGMA
