Guide Questions:

Knowledge
Q1. How will you classify the volcanoes that have records of eruption?
Q2. How will you classify the volcanoes with no records of eruption but is still capable of erupting?
Q3. How will you classify the volcanoes with no records of eruption and physical form is changed by
weathering?
Process
Q4. Daniel wants to know what kind of volcano do they have in their barangay. According to his
research it has already erupted twice and its last eruption happen in the year 1953. Based this information,
what kind of volcano do they have?Why?

Understanding
Q5 .In your own words, discuss the difference between an active, potentially active and inactive
volcanoes.

IV Abstraction:
 The Philippines sits on a unique tectonic setting ideal to volcano formation. The archipelago is surrounded by
subducting plates as manifested by the trenches that are related to volcano formation. Volcanoes are classified into three:
Active, Potentially Active and Inactive Volcanoes. Active volcanoes are those that has erupted within historical times
(within the last 600 years), accounts of these eruptions were documented by man; erupted within the last 10,000 years
based on analyses of datable materials. Potentially active volcanoes: morphologically young-looking but with no
historical records of eruption. but geologists think that it’s still capable of erupting. While Inactive volcanoes: no record
of eruptions; physical form is being changed by agents of weathering and erosion via formation of deep and long gullies.
