10 Explain Okay, our topic for today is all Visual

mins about the Volcano. aids,
pictures

But before that, in your own

opinion, what is volcano?

Yes Clara? Ma’am volcanoes

are openings, or
vents where lava,
tephra (small rocks),
and steam erupt
 onto the Earth's
surface.
That’s correct!

Volcano is a vent in the

Earth's crust from which
molten rock, ash, and gases
escape.

Volcano has different parts,

let us proceed to Internal
Parts. These structures are
located beneath the Earth's
surface and control the
eruption process.

First we have Magma

chamber

Anyone from the class who

wants to read?
It is a large
Yes Arman? underground
reservoir or pool
where molten rock,
called magma,
collects and is stored
beneath the solid
Earth's crust. The
pressure here is
what drives an
eruption.

Very Good, thank you!

Think of this as the volcano's

"stomach." This is where the
molten rock is stored beneath
the ground.

Next is Pipe/conduit

Who wants to read? This is the main

passageway, or
Yes Jessel? channel, that magma
travels through. It
acts as the "throat"
of the volcano,
 connecting the
magma chamber
deep below to the
main vent at the
surface.
That’s right!

This channel acts as a

pathway for magma, gas, and
other volcanic materials, and
its characteristics can
influence the type of eruption
and the shape of the volcano.

Next, we have Sill

Kent please read

A flat, sheet-like
intrusion of magma
that is forced
horizontally between
layers of older rock.
Precisely!

Sill is a horizontal layer of

hardened magma.

Got it class?

Yes ma’am

Now let us proceed to

external parts, we have
Crater/Caldera.

Anyone from the class who

wants to read?

Yes Floyd?
A Crater is smaller
and is usually
formed by explosive
activity during an
eruption. A smaller
opening is a crater; a
much larger,
collapsed opening is
a caldera.

Okay, thank you!

This is the large, bowl-shaped

hole or depression found at
the very top of the volcano.

Next we have Vent!

Who wants to read? Main vent: The
primary vertical tube
Yes Oliver? running straight up
the center,
connecting the
magma chamber to
the crater.

Secondary/Side
Vents: Smaller
escape routes or
cracks that can
appear on the sides
of the volcano (the
flanks).
Precisely!

The vent is simply the

opening or "exit point" through
which the molten rock, ash,
and gases escape from the
Earth's interior. It acts like a
chimney for the volcano.

Next we have Flank/Slope

Anyone from the class who

wants to read?

Yes Myka? The sides of the

volcano. They are
built up from
countless layers of
hardened lava, ash,
and pyroclastic
materials from
previous eruptions.

Thank you!

In addition, it is the sides or

body of the mountain.

Next is the Lava flow

Lava flows are made
of molten rock,
which can be low in
silica (basaltic) or
high in silica (felsic).
The viscosity of the
lava is the primary
factor determining its
flow.
Very Good!

Molten rock (lava) that has

erupted onto the surface and
 is flowing or has solidified into
rock.

Do you understand class?

Yes ma’am

5 Elaborate So now, what do you think is Visual

mins the main cause of a volcanic aids
eruption?

Anyone from the class who

wants to answer?

Yes Anna?
The main cause of a
volcanic eruption is
the buildup of
pressure from
magma and
dissolved gases
inside the Earth.
That’s correct!

An eruption occurs when the

gas pressure becomes
stronger than the surrounding
rock, violently forcing the
magma out. Thicker magma
causes more explosive
eruptions because it traps the
gas better.

Now, why the crater is very

important than all parts of the
volcano?

Yes Kevin?
Ma’am because the
crater is simply the
opening at the top of
the volcano’s pipe.
All the pressure built
up inside must
release through this
point.
Absolutely!

The crater is the most

important part because it
holds the main Vent, which is
the primary exit point for all
volcanic materials during
eruption.

Even the volcano is quiet,

scientists watch the crater. It
often leaks steam and gas
(fumaroles), which helps them
track the volcano’s internal
activity and predict a future
eruption.

The crater is not permanent,

explosive blasts can make it
bigger.

What if the magma chamber

completely empties? What will
happen?

Yes, Aneka?

If the magma
chamber completely
That’s right! empties, the top can
collapse to form a
If a volcanic eruption huge hole called a
happened, how would that caldera.
affect the environment,
people, animals and plants
around or near at the place?

Yes, Jessel?

It will affect the

environment
because of lava
flows and lahars are
the most destructive,
burying the forest,
lands and
infrastracture,
people, animals and
plants because
volcanic gases (like
SO2 and CO2) can
suffocate or poison,
and ashfall causes
severe respiratory
problems, and heavy
ashfall destroys the
crops, contaminating
harvests and the
grazing land for
Precisely! livestock.

Volcanic eruptions cause

widespread destruction
through direct hazards like
lava flows and super-hot
pyroclastic flows, and indirect
hazards like ashfall, lahars
(mudflows) and toxic gases.
These affect everything
nearby, causing destruction,
illness and death.

Now, when the ashes come

out of the crater of the
volcanoes, where did it go?
And how?

Yes Andrea?
Ma’am I think it will
go to the
atmosphere
Very good!

The eruptions violently blast

ash and gas high into the air,
creating a huge column that
can reach tens kilometers into
the stratosphere. Heavy ash
falls quickly, usually close to
the volcano and light, fine ash
is carried great distances by
high-altitude winds,
sometimes thousands of
kilometers Ash that reaches
the stratosphere can circle the
globe, reflected some sunlight
and causing a temporary,
slight cooling effect worldwide

So now, based on the

discussion which of the 3
group will got the correct
answer?

Let’s check.

The group 1 have got the

correct answer! Let’s give
them 5 claps.

The group 2 have got the

correct answer! Let’s give
them 5 claps.
(the student will do
The group 3 have got the the 5 claps)
correct answer! Let’s give
them 5 claps.

Did you really understand the

lesson?
Yes ma’am
Do you have question?
Clarification?
None ma’am
 Now, anyone from the class
who wants to summarize our
discussion for today?

(the teacher will call a (student will raise

student) their hands)

ACTIVITY SHEET

LESSON OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to;

a. Describe volcano and Its part

b. Recognized the importance of knowing the different parts of the volcano
c. Illustrate the formation of volcanoes through diagram

INSTRUCTION: For this group task, you will receive a large, unlabeled cross-section
diagram of a generic volcano. You are going to label the parts of the volcano and
answer the guide questions provided. You only have ten (10) minutes to finish this
task, and you must assign a presenter to deliver a two (2) minute summary of your
work. Remember: Cut out the words, then glue them in the correct place on the
diagram.
Guide Question:
Q1. What is the name for the large underground chamber where molten rock collects?
- The large underground chamber where molten rock collects is called the
magma chamber.
- Magma is the term for molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface.
Q2. What do we call the central tube or channel that connects the chamber to the
surface?
- The central tube or channel that connects the magma chamber to the surface
is called the conduit or vent.
- The vent is often used to describe the primary opening through which the
eruption occurs, while the conduit is the pipe-like structure leading up to it.
Q3. What is the difference between the material inside the volcano and the material
after it has erupted?
- The difference lies in the location and the name:
• Inside the Volcano (Underground): The molten material is called magma.
• After it has Erupted (On the Surface): The molten material is called lava.
- The composition remains generally the same, but the name changes once it
breaches the surface. Lava also tends to be slightly cooler and has lost some
of its dissolved gases compared to the magma it originated from.
Q4. Where does the initial hole or basin at the very top of the volcano come from?

- The initial hole or basin at the very top of the volcano is called the crater.
• A crater is a bowl-shaped depression that forms around the main vent
due to the explosive excavation during an eruption.
• If this depression is very large (typically $>1$ km in diameter) and forms
when the volcano's summit collapses into the emptied magma chamber,
it is called a caldera.
