Introductory
Activity
(10
minutes)

Activity 1
Instructions: Read the situation below and answer the following guide questions.
Taal volcano was considered as the world’s smallest volcano. After being inactive
for a long time, it began to have a phreatomagmatic eruption from its main crater
last January 12, 2021. It does not only affect the municipalities of Batangas but
also the provinces of Cavity and Laguna. Due to this geologic phenomena, people
4.2 had evacuated, numerous families were affected and caused damages to
Activity/Strate agricultural areas and infrastructures. Like any other volcano, its magma originates
gy in the lower part of the Earth’s crust and in the upper portion of the mantle. One
way on which magma is formed is through heat transfer in which liquid rock intrudes
into Earth’s crust. As it solidifies, it loses and transfer heat to its surrounding rocks
(3 minutes)
causing to melt which then formed into magma. Another way in which magma can
be formed is through decompression melting which involves the upward movement
of mantle. When the hot material rises to an area of lower concentration it reduces
the overlying pressure that enables the mantle rock to melt and form magma.

Earth’s Internal Heat Source Earth was formed about 4.6 billion years ago and
continue to serve as habitat to diverse organisms. Its biotic components remain
alive due to proper regulation of internal heat. It has massive amount of heat that
varies from its layer. The heat increases from the crust down to the inner core due
to several reasons. This internal heat comes from the following sources.
1. Primordial heat of the planet remains from its early stage.
The Earth was formed from the process of accretion wherein gasses and dust of
cloud was attracted by gravitational energy. When these masses compacted it
formed planetisimals. In the process, due to the collision of these masses, heat
was generated. This process formed the earliest stage of planet Earth which is
molten in state and heat is trapped in the core of the planet. Eventually, the accrued
heat did not vanish. It took a long time for heat to move from the internal part of the
planet going to its surface. There had been the convective transport of heat within
the core to the mantle of the earth. While conductive transport of heat occurs
through different plate boundary layers. This resulted in the preservation of some
amount the primordial heat in the interior earth.

2. Heat from the decay of radioactive elements. Earth is considered as thermal

engine since its main source of internal heat come from the produced decay of
4.4
some naturally occurring isotopes from its interior. This process is known as
Abstraction
radioactive decay by which the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus
(15
causes the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Some of the isotopes
minutes)
are potassium – 40, Uranium - 235, Uranium - 238 and Thorium - 232. There are
other radioactive isotopes that are also present in the Earth however they play a
minor role in the production of heat due to its small abundance and low heat
capacity. This process of radioactive decay which emits heat energy as one of the
products prevents the Earth from completely cooling off.

3. Gravitational pressure. The more a person descend into Earth’s interior, the
amount of pressure increases due to the force pressing on an area caused by the
weight of an overlying rocks. The pressure near the center is considered to be 3 to
4 million times the pressure of atmosphere at sea level. Again, because rocks are
good insulators, the escape of heat from Earth’s surface is less than the heat
generated from internal gravitational attraction or squeezing of rock, so heat builds
up within. At high temperature, the material beneath will melt towards the central
part of the earth. This molten material under tremendous pressure conditions
acquires the property of a solid and is probably in a plastic state.

4. Due to increase in pressure and presence of heavier materials towards the

earth’s center, the density of earth’s layers also increases. Obviously, the materials
 of the innermost part of the earth are very dense. The inner core as the inner most
layer is composed primarily of iron and nickel which contributes to the density in
the core that ranges between 12,600-13,000 kg/m3. This suggests that there must
be other heavy elements such as gold, platinum, palladium, silver and tungsten
that are present in the core. Like in the descent of the dense iron-rich material that
makes up the core of the planet to the center that produce heating in about 2,000
kelvins. The inner core’s intense pressure prevents the iron and other minimal
amount of some elements from melting. The pressure and density are simply too
great for the iron atoms to move into a liquid state. Thus, this contributes to the
intense heat in the interior of the planet.

Students will be divided into four groups. Each group will create the layers of the
earth. They need to label each parts and give the description of each layers and
