The document discusses active volcanoes around the world and their relationship to plate tectonics. It begins by introducing plate tectonics and how landforms like volcanoes form at plate boundaries. It then provides a map showing the distribution of active volcanoes, which are largely located along the Ring of Fire at plate boundaries. The document explains how plate movement at boundaries can cause volcanic eruptions and other geologic events. Specifically, it discusses dangers from volcanoes like pyroclastic flows, lahars, and ashfall.

The Earth’s lithosphere consists of layers - the crust and the upper mantle. The Earth’s crust is divided into oceanic crust and continental crust. Landforms including active volcanoes and mountain ranges are some of the geographic features that are present in the plate boundaries. These geographic features cause several geographic events and processes that slowly shaped the Earth’s surface.
The Philippines is blessed with different geographic features such as
mountains and volcanoes that support livelihood, agricultural interests, and contribute to aesthetic value of the place. The presence of these different landforms provided people with opportunities in tourism and sources of living for the people.
In this lesson, you will learn the connection between those geographic features and some processes that occur at the plate boundaries and understand why several features of the Earth continuously change with time.
II. LEARNING COMPETENCIES

The presence of volcanoes is a factor that causes changes in the lithosphere.
3.2 ENGAGE:
Activity 1 – Getting to Know Me.
Do you know other volcanoes which are found in the Bicol Region? Considering the illustration below, identify whether the volcano presented in the illustration is ACTIVE or NOT ACTIVE. Write your answer inside the box.
RO_Science_Grade10_Q1_LP1 2 Activity 2 – Be Aware!
Directions: Can you name other volcanoes that is found in the Philippines. List at least 5 volcanoes that you know.
3.3 EXPLORE:
In order to have a clear understanding on the distribution of active volcanoes,
let us find out the location of active volcanoes along the tectonic plates.
RO_Science_Grade10_Q1_LP1 3 Activity 1 – Let’s Mark the Boundaries MAP OF ACTIVE VOLCANOES IN THE WORLD In this activity you will need:
1. Plastic used as book cover/ transparent plastic sheet
2. Marking pens.
Procedure:
1. Study the map of active volcanoes in the world that is presented below. 2. Put the transparent plastic on top of the map. 3. Use colored pens to trace the location of active volcanoes found at the map. 4. Mark and trace the location of the active volcano.
RO_Science_Grade10_Q1_LP1 4 Guide Questions: 1. How are volcanoes distributed? ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________
The places on Earth where most of the volcanoes were formed mark the boundaries of each lithospheric plate. Each plate is slowly moving relative to each other, causing geologic events to happen along their boundaries. Studying plate boundaries is important because along these boundaries, deformation of the lithosphere is happening. These geologic events has a great impact not only on the environment but also on us.
In the image shown below, you can see that most of the number of volcanoes can be seen on the plate boundaries. This happens during collision of two plates. You will learn more of this in the proceeding modules. You will notice that most of the active volcanoes are located on the Ring of Fire. It traces boundaries between plates like the Pacific, Philippine, Juan de Fuca, Cocos and the Nazca Plates.

Countries lying near the plate boundaries are prone to some geologic events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions caused by the continuous movement of the plates. The Philippines, which lies on the Ring of Fire, also has experienced volcanic eruptions from different regions and even earthquakes that cause destruction to the lives of the people and even to its environment.
One particular danger is pyroclastic flows which are avalanches of hot rocks, ash, and toxic gas that race down slopes at speeds as high as 450 miles an hour.
RO_Science_Grade10_Q1_LP1 6 Similarly, volcanic mudflows called lahars can be very destructive. These fast- flowing waves of mud and debris can race down a volcano's flanks, burying entire towns.
Ash is another volcanic danger. Unlike the soft, fluffy bits of charred wood left after a campfire, volcanic ash is made of sharp fragments of rocks and volcanic glass each less than two millimetres across. The ash forms as the gasses within rising magma expand, shattering the cooling rocks as they burst from the volcano's mouth. It is not only dangerous to inhale as it is heavy and builds up quickly. Volcanic ash can collapse weak structures, cause power outages, and is a challenge to shovel away post-eruption.

RO_Science_Grade10_Q1_LP1 7 Map of the Pacific Ocean Clipart Retrieved from https://clipartart.com/categories/map-of-pacific-ocean-clipart.html
1. On June 15,1991, Mt. Pinatubo erupted, this was noted as the second most powerful eruption. It is located in Zambales, Philippines.
2. Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand is one of the more active volcanoes in the Ring of Fire with yearly minor eruptions, and major eruptions occurring about every 50 years.
RO_Science_Grade10_Q1_LP1 8 3. Mount Fuji, Japan’s tallest and most famous mountain, is an active volcano in the Ring of Fire. Mount Fuji last erupted in 1707, but recent earthquake activity in eastern Japan may have put the volcano in a “critical state.”
4. On April 10, 1815, Tambora produced the largest eruption known on the planet during the past 10,000 years.
5. Mount St. Helens in the U.S. state of Washington, is an active volcano in the Cascade Mountains. Its historic 1980 eruption lasted 9 hours and covered nearby areas with tons of volcanic ash.
6. The Bogoslof Island is the exposed summit of a volcano that sits in 6,000 feet of water in the Bering Sea about 40 miles west of the Alaskan island of Alaska, and is part of the Aleutian chain. Bogoslof lsland had a series of eruptions for several weeks last December 2016 which spewed gases and ashes into the sky and prompted aviation warnings.
