Lesson 1: Why is the interior of the Earth hot? The interior of Earth is very hot (the temperature of the core reaches more than 5,000 degrees Celsius) for two main reasons: . The heat from when the planet formed, . The heat from the decay of radioactive elements. The Earth was formed by the process of accretion. After the creation of our solar system, meteorites gravitationally attracted each other and formed bigger objects, which attracted bigger masses, until our planets reach their current size. This process accumulated a lot of heat; when two objects collide, heat is generated. That is why your hands will get hot when you clap them for too long, or a nail gets very hot when you hammer it for a long time. This heat has not dissipated totally and represents about 10% of the total heat inside the Earth. The main source of heat is the decay of radioactive elements. Radioactive decay is a natural process; unstable elements like 238U (Uranium) or 40K (Potassium) stabilize with time and produce what we call daughter products: 206P (Lead) for Uranium and 40Ar (Argon) for Potassium. This process produces heat, which represents about 90% of the total heat inside the Earth. Lesson 2: How Magma Forms Magma is a molten and semi-molten rock mixture found under the surface of the Earth. This mixture is usually made up the of four parts: hot liquid base, called a melt; minerals crystallized by the melt; solid rocks incorporated into the melt from the surrounding confines; and dissolved gases. When magma is ejected by a volcano or other vent, the material is called lava. Magma that has cooled into a solid is

Earthquakes are generated when a fault on the edges of the plates occurs. That is, part of the edges of the plate breaks. The breaking causes shaking on the plates that are felt on the surface. This shaking is what we call earthquakes. When part of the plate breaks during the collision, shifting of the ocean floor happens. During the shifting, energy is released. This energy pushes the ocean water above. When this ocean water reaches the shores, we call them tsunami. During subduction, as plates reach the mantle, it will eventually be melted as magma. When these magmas find a weak spot in the crust, it forms a volcano. This volcano erupts when the crust cannot withstand the pressure exerted by the magma. Earthquakes, tsunami and eruption of volcanoes are natural disasters brought by the activity of the subduction zone. These natural disasters may cause the loss of lives, damage to properties, displacement to other areas, and livelihood.
The collision of oceanic and continental crust as well as the collision of two oceanic crust results in the formation of trenches and volcanic arcs. This will also result in the generation of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes are generated when a fault on the edges of the plates occurs. That is, part of the edges of the plate breaks. The breaking causes shaking on the plates that are felt on the surface. This shaking is what we call earthquakes.

Critical Safety Steps to Take Before Volcanic Eruption Occurs • Learn whether the volcano near you is active of Inactive, and then learn about your community warning systems and evacuation plans. • Prepare an emergency disaster plan for you and your family. • Prepare the necessary things needed, such as nonperishable food, flashlights, and batteries so that you can leave immediately once evacuation is issued. • Prepare goggles and masks or anything that can be used to cover your nose and mouth. • Evacuate to a place until the warning signs of a volcanic eruption has subsided. Critical Safety Steps to Take During Volcanic Eruption • Do not panic; stay calm Move to higher places since low-lying areas are the most likely paths where the lava would flow. • Seek a place for cover for there are big pyroclastic materials that might be falling. • Use masks to avoid breathing in the ashes and goggles to protect your eyes. Also wear long sleeves and pants to protect your body. • Close all doors and windows to avoid the ashes from entering the house. • Always stay indoors or inside the evacuation centers. • Machineries should be turned off and placed inside. • Tune in to radio broadcasts to be updated on the latest information. Critical Safety Steps to Take After Volcanic Eruption • Once the order is given, go back to your house, but leave your children with someone you trust and ask them to take care of them for a while. • Check your house for damage. • Clean everything around and make sure you use masks and protective clothing while doing so to prevent irritation from contact with ash. • Tune in to radio broadcasts to be updated on disaster prevention instructions.
