Lesson 1: Distribution of Active Volcanoes, Earthquake Epicenters, and Prepared by: Mervin A. Boco Mayon Volcano, Albay Bicol Region Mt. Pinatubo, Zambales Tarlac Taal Volcano, Batangas TAKE NOTE! Some volcanoes in the Philippines are active or inactive. We describe volcanoes as inactive and active based from their Mountain near Taal Volcano Mt. Macolod, 7 miles away from Mountain near Taal Volcano Mt. Talamitan, 17.3 miles away Mountain near Taal Volcano Mt. Panay, 22.2 miles away from TAKE NOTE! Volcanoes are formed when pieces of earths crusts called plates smash and buckle up through a process called plate tectonics. PLATE TECTONICS LITHOSPHERE > The crust is made of a variety of solid rocks. It has an average density of 2.8 g/cubic cm and its thickness ranges from 5-50 km. > The continental crust is thicker but less dense than the oceanic crust. LITHOSPHERE > The lithosphere is said to be in constant but slow motion. The movement of the lithosphere is called TECTONICS. > The entire lithosphere of the earth is broken into numerous segments called plates. Results of Plate Tectonics 1. Geologic Features and Activity: formation of Volcanoes, Mountains, Trenches, and Earthquake Earthqua ke The vibration of the earth due to Seismic Wave This are waves of energy travel through the Earth’s layers, and one of the result is earthquake. Types of Seismic Wave 1. Primary Wave 2. Secondary Wave 3. Long Surface Wave Learning Task
