2. Volcanic cinders Between 2mm
and 64mm in diameter
3. Volcanic Bombs larger than
64mm (2.5inches) in diameter

-Tiwi, Albay

Process
A. Geothermal Power
Generation (6pts)
1. Hot water
2. Steam
3. Turbine Generator
4. Cooling Tower
5. Injection well
B. Signs of impending
volcanic eruption (7-10)
Increase in the frequency of volcanic
quakes with rumbling sounds;
occurrence of volcanic tremors
Increased steaming activity; change in
color of steam emission from white to
gray due to entrained strash
Crater glow due to presence of magma
at or near the crater
Ground swells (or inflation, ground tilt
and ground fissuring due to magma
intrusion
Localize landslides, rockfall and
landslides from the summit area which
not attributable to heavy rains

Noticeable increase in the extent of

drying up vegetation around the
volcanos upper slopes
Increase in the temperature of hot
springs, wells, and crater lake
Noticeable variation in the chemical
content of the springs, crater lakes
within the vicinity of the volcano
Drying up of springs/wells around the
volcano; and,
Development of new thermal areas
and/or reactivation of old ones;
appearance of solfataras.

III.
Understanding
1.
a. Wells are drilled deep into the Earth to
pump steam or hot water to the surface
(heat from inside the Earth)
b. When the water reaches the surface, the
drop in pressure causes the water to
turn into steam.
c. The steam spins a turbine, which is
connected to a generator that produces
electricity.
-----------------------------------------------------------------d. Cooling tower cools the steam which
condenses it back to water
e. The cooled water is pumped back into
the earth to begin the process again.
2. Sulfur dioxide and ash fall are carried by
wind during volcanic eruption. As it
circulates, it may block the sunlight causing
a decrease in the Earths temperature.
3.
Positive: Makes the soil fertile
Negative: destruction of properties
and loss of lives.

silica content. The magma with less

silica content is relatively fluid and
travels far.

Magma with high silica content is

more viscous than those with less
