Short Discussion

Energy is everywhere and it can do a lot of things. Energy is invisible. But, how can we tell when energy is
there? If you see children running on the street and a light from the lampshade, hear a sound from the radio, or
feel the heat of the sun, you can be sure that energy is in action.
All living and non-living things need energy. It warms our planet enough to make life possible. It enables
people to do household chores or work in school. It illuminates every home, operates appliances, and moves
cars.
In Physics, energy is described as the ability to do work or make changes in certain conditions. Energy can be
classified in two types: kinetic and potential energy. Potential energy is energy stored in an object at rest while
Kinetic energy is an energy in motion.
In this lesson, you will learn the different forms of energy such as mechanical energy, heat energy, light energy,
sound energy, and electrical energy.

Energy Transformation
The food that you eat provides you the energy to do work. You can run, walk,
swim, or do your homework and chores because of the chemical energy you get from
food. Even sleeping, breathing, and eating require some energy from your body. It is
important to note that the chemical energy that you get from food is not lost or used
up when you do those activities. It is simply changed into another form of energy.
The cells in your body break down the chemical bonds in the food and release the
energy from those bonds. You then use this energy to keep your body organs
working, move your muscles, ride your bike, or toss a ball. You might have observed
that you feel hot and start sweating after running, biking, or playing. This is because
some of the energy is transformed into heat.
 The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or
destroyed. It may be transformed from one form into another, but the total amount of
energy never changes. Energy can be changed from one form to another such as chemical
energy into mechanical energy, heat energy, and many more.

Energy transformation occurs everywhere always. It can be observed at sunrise.

As the light of the sun reaches the Earth, plants absorb it to make their own food.
Light energy from the sun is transformed into chemical energy stored in plants. In
cooking, the chemical energy of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is transformed
into light and heat to cook food. Other examples where energy conversion takes place
are in a battery-operated car, waterfalls, roller coaster, cleaning the house, walking,
running, watching television, eating or chewing food, calling through cellular phones,
driving a car, and many more.

Short Discussion

Earthquake and volcanic eruptions are natural calamities that affect changes on the Earth’s surface. Volcanic
activities and earthquakes modify the landscape in random and remarkable way.
The effects brought about by these changes might not be immediately visible, but overtime, the effects would
become greater, and thus, more observable.

The earth consists of different layers. Its surface belongs to the first
layer called the crust. This layer is made up of several large and small plates. The
middle layer is called mantle. It is the thickest layer of the earth and is mostly
made up of magma. The central layer is called the core and is divided into liquid
layer called outer core and a solid layer called inner core. The movement of
plates on the crust is often accompanied by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

A. EARTHQUAKE

An earthquake is the sudden movement or vibration of the crust. It is caused

when rock masses shift in new position. As the rock masses shift into new positions,
the energy stored in the rock masses is transmitted onto the surface in the form of
seismic (earth vibration) earthquake waves. Earthquakes usually happen along
faults. Faults are cracks in Earth’s crust between two huge plates. The plate on each
side of a fault grinds against each other with tremendous force. The motion of the
ground during an earthquake is measured by an instrument called a seismograph.
There are two types of earthquakes. These are the volcanic and tectonic earthquakes. A volcanic earthquake
happens with a strong volcanic eruption while tectonic earthquake is caused by the movement of the earth’s
crust. A tectonic earthquake may occur on land or beneath the ocean.
The strength of an earthquake is measured in terms of magnitude and intensity.
Magnitude refers to the amount of energy released by an earthquake from its focus. Focus or origin within a
fault is the weakest part where the slippage of rocks occurs and where the earthquake originates. The area above
the focus is called the epicenter where strong shaking of the ground is felt.
In measuring an earthquake’s magnitude, we use the Richter scale which was developed by Charles F. Richter,
an American seismologist.
In the Philippines, we use the PHIVOLCS (Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology) Earthquake
Intensity Scale in measuring the earthquake’s intensity.

Effects of Earthquake

Fissure- is a narrow opening or

crack of considerable
length and depth usually occurring from
some breaking of the earth’s surface due
to an earthquake.

Building destruction – ground

shaking is the primary cause of earthquake
damage to man-made structures like
. buildings, houses etc.

Liquefaction – ground failure or

loss of strength structures that can
cause major damage of infrastructure
like roads after an
earthquake.

 Volcano is an opening in the Earth’s crust. Molten rocks, ashes, and gaseous materials are forced out
through its opening. The opening of a volcano is called the crater. In the Philippines there are many volcanoes.
Some of the active volcanoes are Mt. Bulusan in Sorsogon, Mt. Pinatubo in Zambales, Mt. Canlaon in Negros
Oriental, and Hibok-Hibok Volcano in Camiguin.
Volcanoes vary in sizes. Some are just low-lying depressions while others are tall, like Mt. Mayon.
Volcanoes also vary in shape. Some are shaped like a cone while others are like a dome.
How does a volcanic eruption occur? When tectonic plates collide, massive rocks underground deform
and trigger a build-up of temperature and pressure. The high temperature and pressure results in melting of
rocks, producing magma.
Inside the volcano is a magma chamber. Molten rock inside this chamber is forcefully driven out by
intense heat and pressure. The release of magma from the crater is called a volcanic eruption. The magma that
flows out on the surface is called lava. When volcano erupts, it throws out lava together with gases, rocks, and
ashes.
A volcanic eruption can be explosive or nonexplosive. An eruption is explosive when large amount of
pyroclastic materials are ejected by the volcano into the air. Pyroclastic materials consist of lava, ashes,
volcanic glass, and rocks. It occurs when gases in the magma are trapped, causing a build up of pressure in the
magma chamber which result the gases to expand very quickly and explode violently that can last for several
hours or days.
In a nonexplosive eruption, lava just flows out of the crater and gaps along the sides of the volcano. This
kind of eruption happens when there is a less pressure in the magma chamber.
