    Aline Grace Jonson
    Active volcanoes are those that have erupted within the last 10,000 years. The document lists several active volcanoes in the Philippines, including Mayon Volcano, Taal Volcano, and Mount Pinatubo. Inactive volcanoes are those that have not erupted in over 10,000 years, and several inactive volcanoes in the Philippines, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao are also listed. The document also discusses how geothermal energy can be harnessed from volcanoes through underground reservoirs of hot water and steam heated by magma.

    Active and Inactive

    Volcanoes
    Presented by: Alexander Jonson
    Volcanoes

     A mountain with a hole in the top or side that sometimes


    sends out rocks, ash, lava, etc., in a sudden explosion
    (called an eruption)
    Active volcanoes

     An active volcano is a volcano that has at least one


    eruption during the past 10,000 years. An active volcano
    might be erupting or dormant. A dormant volcano is an
    active volcano that is now erupting, but supposed to
    erupt again.
    Lists of Active Volcanoes in
    the Philippines
    Mayon, also known as Mayon Volcano or Mount
    Mayon, is an active stratovolcano in the
    province of Albay in Bicol Region, on the large
    island of Luzon in the Philippines.
    Taal Volcano is a complex volcano located
    on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is
    the second most active volcano in the
    Philippines with 33 historical eruptions.
    Kanlaon, also spelled as Kanla-on or sometimes Canlaon, is an
    active stratovolcano on the island of Negros, Philippines. It is the
    highest point in Negros, as well as the whole Visayas, with an
    elevation of 2,465 m above sea level.
    Mount Bulusan, or Bulusan Volcano, is the
    southernmost volcano on Luzon Island in the
    Republic of the Philippines.
    Smith Volcano, also known as Mount Babuyan, is a cinder cone on
    Babuyan island, the northernmost of the Babuyan group of islands on
    Luzon Strait, north of the main island of Luzon in the Philippines. The
    mountain is one of the active volcanoes on the Philippines, which
    last erupted in 1924.
    Mount Hibok-Hibok is a stratovolcano on
    Camiguin island in the Philippines. Country and
    part of the Pacific ring of fire
    Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano in the Zambales
    mountains, located on the tripoint boundary of the
    Philippine provinces of Zambales, Tarlac and Pampanga,
    all in Central Luzon on the northern island of Luzon
    Musuan Peak or Mount Musuan, also known as Mount
    Calayo is an active volcano on the island of Mindanao in
    the Philippines. It is 4.5 kilometers south of the city of
    Valencia, province of Bukidnon, and 81 Kilometers
    southeast of Cagayan de Oro City.
    Inactive Volcanoes

    An inactive volcano is one that could erupt but


    has not erupted for more than 10,000 years.
    Inactive volcanoes are also called dormant or
    sleeping volcanoes

    Volcanoes and Geothermal
    Energy
     Geothermal Energy is plentiful, but geothermal power is
    not. Temperatures increase below the Earth’s surface at
    a rate of about 30 C per km in the first 10 km below the
    surface. This internal heat of the earth is an immense
    store of energy.
    The natural escape of the Earth’s heat through its surface averages
    only 0.06 watt per square meter. To make geothermal power
    practical, some special situation must exist to concentrate the Earth’s
    heat energy in a small area. Underground reservoirs or steam or hot
    water that can be funneled into a drill hole provide this special
    situation. Some geothermal steam wells can produce 25 megawatts
    of thermal power, an amount equal to the normal heat flux of more
    than 400 square km or land surface. The key to this concentration is
    the transfer of heat from deeper levels to the near surface by the
    ascending magma associated with volcanism. Magma at
    temperatures close to 1,200 C moves upward to depths of only a few
    kilometers, where is transfers heat by conduction to groundwater.
    The ground water then circulates by convection and forms large
    underground reservoirs of hot water and steam. Some of this thermal
    water may escape to the surface as hot springs or geysers
