Let Us Discover
Our country Philippines is home to many volcanoes since it is located along the Pacific Ring
of Fire. A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s surface where molten rocks, smoke, gases,
and ashes are emitted. Summit, slope, and the base are the usual external parts of the
volcano. The peak or highest point of the volcano is the summit. The slope is the degree of
slant or inclination of the volcano, while the base is the lowest part of it.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has adapted a system
where the Philippine volcanoes can be classified as active or inactive. Active volcanoes are
those that have a record of eruption within the last 600 years or those that erupted 10,000
years ago based on the analyses of their materials. Inactive volcanoes are those that have
not erupted for the last 10,000 years and their physical form is being changed by agents of
weathering and erosion through the formation of deep and long gullies.

Activity 2: Active or Inactive?
(Adapted from the activity Volcanoes in the Philippines- Sci9LM p.166-167)
Objective:
1. Differentiate active and inactive volcanoes.
Material: List of some volcanoes in the Philippines
Procedure:
1. Analyze the data presented on the table and classify the volcanoes whether active or
inactive, based on the record of eruption. Write your answer in the last column of the
table.
2. Then, answer the questions given.

Let Us Apply`
Let us try to transfer your learning into real life situations by doing the activity.
If the resources are available, you can prepare a video presentation about the volcano in
your locality and send it to the messenger of your teacher. If not, just write your output in the
