Effects of Earthquake/ Volcanic Eruption

Background Information

Earthquake is a vibration of the Earth produced by the rapid release energy. Seismic
Waves is an energy moving outward from the focus of an earthquake. Focus is a location of
initial slip on the fault where the earthquake origins. Epicenter is a spot on Earth’s surface
directly above the focus.

Why Do Earthquakes Occur?

Earthquakes occur when There is geological faults, volcanic eruptions, mine blast and
Nuclear test.

A. Geological Faults - is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which

there has been significant displacement.

There are two (2) types of faults. These are:

1. Normal Fault - occurs when the crust is extended and the hanging wall is moved
downward relative to the foot wall.

2. Thrust Fault - occurs when the crust is compressed and hanging wall moved
upward relative to the foot wall.

3. Strike Slip Fault - the fault surface is usually near vertical and motion results from
shearing forces.

Causes of earthquakes

The causes of Earthquakes are the following:

1. Natural cause - the result of slow moving processes that operate within
earth Dams and reservoirs - water created by dams
2. Ground water extraction - taking water out of ground ,which causes the water table to
3. drop
4. Geothermal power plants - geothermal field operations have ramped up, seismic
activity increased.
5. Fracking and injection well - when waste fracking fluid is injected back
6. underground to deep wells. The fluid can seep out and lubricate faults, causing to slip
more easily.
7. Skyscrapers - putting too much pressure on the sedimentary rock below. The
stress is due to all extra steel and concrete that used in making skyscrapers
solid.

Effects Of Earthquake
1. Primary Earthquake Hazards:
- Rapid Ground Shaking
- Structural Damage
- Buckled roads and rail tracks, bridges
2. Secondary Earthquake Hazards
- Landslides /Avalanches - along with severe storms, volcanic activity, coastal
wave attack, and wildfires.
- Flood - cause landslips to dam rivers ,which collapse and cause floods
- Fire - earthquakes destroy gas pipes and electric cables
- Tsunamis - an earthquake on the sea floor or close to the coast may cause huge
waves
Measuring Earthquakes
- Seismometer – is an instruments that detect seismic waves
- Seismographs - record intensity, height and amplitude of seismic waves

Measuring the size of Earthquake

1. Magnitude:Richter Scale- measures the energy released by fault movement
- Logarithmic - scale;quantitative measure.
2. Intensity;Mercalli Scale - assigns an intensity or rating to measure an earthquake
at a particular location(qualitative)
- measures the destructive effect

Volcanic Eruptions
An eruption begins when pressure on the magma chamber forces magma up through
the conduit and out the volcano's vents. Volcanic eruptions vary considerably. Eruptions may
be violent, mild, or quiet. The amount of gases dissolved in the magma, and its composition
and viscosity, are the factors that determine whether eruption is violent or quiet.

Types of Volcanic Eruption

1. Explosive or Violent Eruptions
During explosive eruptions, the lava ejected is torn into shreds, forming pieces of
pyroclastic materials called tephra. Explosive eruptions can eject a large amount of materials
into the air. Very violent explosive eruptions are called Plinian eruptions, after the Roman
naturalists Pliny the elder. These eruptions can last for several hours to days, ejecting large
amounts of pyroclastic materials. The composition of the magma affects volcanic activity.
When magma contains more silica, the magma is thicker and more viscous. The greater the
viscosity of the magma, the more difficult it is for gases to escape from it. ln this case, the
eruption is a violent one, releasing huge volumes of tephra. Granitic and andesitic lava have
high silica, content, so they are thicker viscous.

2. Quiet Non-Explosive Eruption

Basaltic magma has relatively low silica content. It is less viscous and gases can
escape readily from it. As a result, the volcanic eruption is mild and a gentle flow of lava
follows. Mild eruptions and quiet flow of lava are typical of the Hawaiian shield cones like
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.

Benefits and Danger of Volcanic Eruptions

Beneficial Effects of Volcanic Activities
Volcanic eruptions can obviously cause serious effects on living things, the economy, and
in the environment. However, volcanic activities can also produce some benefits to various
sectors of society because of the very rich nature of the ejected materials.
➢ Volcanic activities change the landscape with the formation of mountains,
➢ Active volcanoes like Mayon volcano and Taal volcano in the Philippines create
tourism opportunities. They attract local and international tourists bringing in some
economic value.
 ➢ Volcanoes and the places nearby are potential sources of geothermal energy that can
be tapped for the production of electricity. The Tiwi Geothermal Plant at Albay is
located on the northeast flank of Mt. Molinao, an extinct strato-volcano in the east
Philippine volcanic arc along the Philippine trench.

➢ Ash and lava make the soil fertile. The fertile volcanic soil in the Bicol region where
Mayon volcano is located allow abaca plant to grow well.

• Lahar is found to be a good ceramic material. It can be made into plant pots,
vases, tiles and other decorative materials.

Harmful Effects of Volcanic Activities

Like other natural calamities, volcanic eruptions can be very disastrous.
They can affect society, health, environment, transportation, and communication
systems.
➢ Society and Health
- Long term exposure to volcanic dust illness or aggravate existing respiratory
problems. It may also cause headaches, fatigue, and eyes and skin irritation.
- People living in the areas affected by volcanic activities have to be evacuated.
- Ashes and other solid materials spewed during volcanic eruptions cover houses,
buildings, roads, bridges and fields. Heavy deposits of volcanic materials can
cause these structures to collapse. This may result to loss of lives and damages to
properties.
- Lava and pyroclastic flows run over and destroy houses, roads, and other structures.
The hot gas and ash that accompany these flows can trap and kill people and
other life forms.

➢ Environment
- Lahar flows can destroy farmlands.
- Landscapes and natural environment are destroyed.
- Thick ashes and gases may block out the sunlight for a long period, lowering global
temperature. The eruption of the Philippines’ Mt. Pinatubo and Chile’s Mt. Hudson
caused a decrease in the mean world temperature by 1°C in the subsequent two
years.
- Gas emissions like sulfur dioxide react with rainwater, producing acid rain. Acid
rain eventually reach lakes and rivers affecting aquatic plants and animals.
- Fast flowing lahar can cause riverbank erosion and can weaken bridges.

➢ Transport and Communication System

- Lahar flow can destroy road and bridge links.
- Ashfalls and gases may interfere with communication signals.
- Ashes and dusts and gases immobilizes transport vehicle and reduce visibility.

Safety Precautions During, Before and After an Earthquake

Background Information
An earthquake is a natural phenomenon that can neither be stopped nor controlled.
However, people can remember some safety measures before, during, and after
earthquakes.
YouTube link where you can watch an earthquake:
[Link]

What to Do Before an Earthquake

1. Help your parents fix your house. Ceiling fans, frames, chandeliers, and other hanging
objects should be fixed well enough to prevent them from falling during an earthquake.
2. Let you and your family talk about the emergency preparedness plan during earthquakes.
Such plan should include where to go or hide when an earthquake happens and when to
move out of the house after the earthquake. Your plan should include learning to apply first
aid.
3. Your family should have an emergency supply kit at home, which includes first-aid
materials, nonperishable food, medicines, bottled water, flashlights, and batteries. The
emergency supply kit should be ready and available at all times as you never know when an
earthquake will occur. Each family member should know where the kit is kept at home.
4. Have an emergency list of persons or agencies and their contact numbers that you can
call during emergencies. You can ask help from these persons or agencies during
emergency cases.
5. Practice earthquake drills, or exercises on what to do during an earthquake, with family
members at home. In school, be attentive and cooperate well when earthquake drills are
held.

What to Do During an Earthquake

1. Stay calm. Do not panic. You will not be able to think well if you panic during earthquakes.
2. If you are indoors during an earthquake, drop down to the floor. Take cover under a sturdy
table or other piece of furniture that can protect you from falling objects.
3. Stay away from stoves and heavy appliances. The tremor may cause the gas pipe of
the stove to be cut; the gas may leak, thus increasing the risk of fire. Heavy pieces of
furniture or equipment might fall during the earthquake and hit you.
4. If you are outside during an earthquake, go to an open area away from buildings and
electric posts. stay away from bridges, flyover, footbridges, tunnels, and other structures
that may collapse.
5. If you are at the beach or seashore, move to a higher place. Giant sea waves may
develop and flood the area and wash away everything back to the sea.
 Always remember this during an Earthquake.

What to Do After an Earthquake

1. Check for injuries. Ask for help from the persons or agencies in your emergency list if you
or someone in your family is injured.
2. Check for dangerous materials. For example, damaged electrical wiring may cause fires.
Report hanging and faulty wires to concerned persons or agencies. Be on the lookout for
fallen or displaced objects because you might get hurt when you step on them.
3. Expect aftershocks or minor tremors after the main shock of an earthquake. These may
bring additional damage to weak structures.
4. Listen to the news about tsunami warnings, especially if your family lives near the
seashore. Go to a higher place if needed.
5. Clean the areas where harmful chemicals may have been spilled when shaken because
of the earthquake. These chemicals may endanger your life when mixed with the food that
you eat. Keep the chemicals in places out of reach of children.
Earthquakes may strike anytime. People do not know when and where such natural
events will occur. Remember the tips discussed so you would know what to do before,
during, and after earthquakes.

Volcanoes and the Different Volcanic Activities

A volcano is an opening in Earth's

crust where lava, pyro clasts, and gases are
ejected onto the surface during eruptions.
The most prominent part of the volcano is the
cone, formed by the mountainous
accumulation of volcanic materials. The other
part is the crater, which is a steep-walled
depression at the peak of the volcano, and
the volcanic vent, a cylindrical channel that
connects the crater or mouth to the magma
chamber.

Some volcanoes have large craters called calderas that can exceed about 1 km in
diameter. Calderas are formed when the summit of the volcano collapses during violent or
explosive eruptions. Mt. Mayon, Mt. Taal, and Mt. Pinatubo are examples of active volcanoes
in the Philippines. The volcanoes above sea level are the most popular, but the vast majority
of the world's volcanoes lie beneath the sea, formed along the global oceanic ridge.
Kinds of Volcano
A. According to shape and Composition of the Cone.

1. Shield Volcano
A shield volcano has a wide base with gentle sloping
sides. The cone is made up purely of lava that has poured
out and solidified during a mild or quiet eruption. The best
known shield volcanoes are those found in the Hawaiian
Islands. Examples are the Mauna Kea and Kilauea
volcanoes. The largest shield volcano in the solar system
is the Olympus Mons found in Mars. This volcano was
thought to be extinct. Shield volcanoes in Mars are higher
and more massive than those on Earth.

and more massive than those on Earth.

2. Cinder Cone Volcano

A cinder cone is built almost entirely of loose fragments

called cinders (pyroclasts and tephra). A cinder cone
volcano is formed by explosive eruptions. Explosive
eruptions eject lava and rocks into the air. The lava
fragments solidify into small pieces of pyroclasts called
tephra. Cinder cone has a narrow base and very steep
slope. Cinder cone volcanos are usually small (less than
30o meters high) since the pyroclasts that compose
the cone can easily be eroded. Furthermore, a cinder
cone volcano has bowl-shaped craters at their summit.

3. Composite Volcano or Stratovolcano

Composite volcanoes are composed of alternating
tayers of lava and cinders (pyroclasts). They are
formed when volcanic eruptions vary between quiet
and violent or explosive. During explosive eruptions, a
huge volume of gases, ashes, and pyroclasts are
ejected. When the eruption switches to a quieter
period, a huge volume of lava is extruded over the top
of the pyroclastic layer. Mt' Fuji in Japan, Mt. Vesuvius
and Mt. Stromboli in Italy, Mount St. Helens, Mount
Rainer, Mount Shasta, Mount Hood, and Mount
Pinatubo in the Philippines are typical examples of a
composite volcano.
B. According to Activity of Volcano
Volcanoes are usually situated either near the boundaries between tectonic plates or
over geologically active hotspots. ln terms of activity, volcanoes may either be dormant or
active or extinct.
1. Active Volcano
A volcano is considered active if it is currently erupting or showing regular signs of
activity like earthquake activities and significant gas emissions. An active volcano has a
record of eruption within 50 years. Kilauea, located in Hawaii, is the world's most active
volcano. Mt. Mayon, Mt. Kanlaon, and Mt. Taal are some of the active volcanoes in the
Philippines.

2. Dormant Volcano
Dormant volcanoes are those that have currently erupted and then have entered a
long period of inactivity. Seismologists have found out that the longer period of dormancy or
inactivity between volcanic eruptions, the greater the chance of having a very explosive
eruption in the future. Volcanoes that have not erupted for decades or centuries may cause
the greatest volcanic threat to people and their surrounding areas. For example, Mt. Saint
Helens erupted in May 1980 after being dormant for 123 years, and Mt. Pinatubo erupted
explosively in June 1991 after being dormant for about 600 years.

3. Extinct Volcano
Extinct volcanoes are those that have not shown signs of activity for a long period
of time. It has no record of volcanic eruptions in the past thousand years. Whether the
volcano is truly extinct is often difficult to determine.

Precautionary Measures Before, During and After a Volcanic Eruption

➢ Before a Volcanic Eruption
The following are safety measures that may be undertaken before a volcanic
eruption.
1. Learn about your community’s warning system and develop an emergency
communication plan. If there is none, work with your community and develop one.
2. Prepare disaster supplies or a survival kit.
3. Your local government has evacuation plans. Follow the evacuation plans.
Follow the authorities’ instructions and leave the area before the disaster
begins. Get to higher grounds away from the eruptions.
4. Evacuate before volcano erupts. It is not safe to stay at home and wait for
the start of an eruption; doing so could be very dangerous. Stay safe.
5. Have a plan in case family members are separated during a volcanic
eruption. Ask help from your relatives or friends to get in touch with your
family.
6. Put all household materials inside your house and bring animals and
Livestock into closed shelters.

➢ During a Volcanic Eruption

1. Avoid areas near the slopes of the volcano. Lava could flow near the slopes.
2. If caught indoors, close all windows, doors, and other openings. Remain indoors.
3. If caught outdoors, protect your head from rocks and immediately run
indoors.
4. Avoid low-lying areas were lava flows could reach and poisonous gases can collect.
5. Wear long-sleeved shirts and a pair of pants to protect you from volcanic
dust. Use a dust mask to protect your eyes of hold a damp cloth over your face.
 6. Never watch an erupting volcano. Stay away from it. A lateral blast of a volcano can
travel many miles away.
7. Avoid mudflows. Mudflows occur when rain falls and mixes with ashes and debris.
Stay away from bridges and steams to avoid mudflow.

➢ After a Volcanic Eruption

1. Listen to a battery-powered radio or television for the latest emergency
information.
2. Stay away from volcanic ash fall. When outside, protect your eyes, mouth,
and nose.
3. If you have a respiratory ailment, stay indoors to avoid inhaling dust and
ash. Follow local health officials. Seek advice if it is safe to go outside.
4. Clear your house from ash fall or dust. Ash fall can cause roofs to
collapse.

Seasons in The Philippines
Background Information
The Philippine climate warm and humid year-round, is considered to be one of the
healthiest tropical climates. There are two pronounced seasons in the Philippines- dry and
wet.

WET SEASON
Wet Season is characterized by a pronounced rainy season with thunderstorms.
Wet season starts in June and peaks in July to September, and then falls slowly toward the
end of the year. Generally, daytime temperatures range from 30-36 degrees Celsius and
nigh
time temperature ranges from 21-28 degrees Celsius. The air is hot and humid, which brings
heavy rains and typhoons in the country. During the wettest month, rain is an almost daily
occurrence. Rainfall is relatively high but regional contrast is remarkable depending on the
size and position of the land, location of mountain ranges and direction of moisture bearing
wind. Precipitation is highest at the area where southwest monsoon strikes. It is during rainy
season that farmers are able to plant crops.

DRY SEASON
Dry Season is characterized by hot and cloudless days. Between January and May,
the climate is generally dry with occasional rain showers. During January to February, the
air is cold and dry. The peak of dry season is in April with less rain showers. The dry
season is influenced by seasonal wind and the northeast monsoon- amihan. During
summer months, from March to June, the temperature in some places reaches up to 32⁰ C.
The summer months is the time for some people to go on vacation, swimming and visit
other islands. It is also the time for some people to dry their crops and other goods.

 The southwest monsoon runs from May to October, while the northeast monsoon
occurs from November to early May. For most of the country, the dry season is during
amihan. The wet season starts in June and reaches its peak in July and September. But
weather pattern change. The rain arrives late and lasts up to December. In some regions,
the seasons are different. Much of the eastern seaboard-including Eastern Mindanao,
Southern Leyte Eastern Samar, Southeast Luzon- is rainy from December to March and
fairly dry when the rest of the county is raining. Central Negros and Cebu is not exposed to
the monsoon rain, and thus have less distinct seasons.

ACTIVITIES SUITED FOR SPECIFIC SEASONS IN THEPHILIPPINES

Activities Suited for Dry Season
During the dry season, you can plan with your family to have a family gathering,
family outings like picnics ang long trips, travel to historical places and beautiful sceneries,
and do recreational activities like hiking, swimming, and mountain climbing.
This is also the season for house cleaning, washing and drying clothes during sunny
weather, and gardening and yard improvement.
The dry season is also good for farmers to harvest and dry their crops and for
fisherman to dry their caught fish. During this season, community activities like team
building, outdoor games and tournaments, fiesta celebrations, community cleaning activities,
doing community improvement, community parade, and contest are done.
The government also takes advantage of this season. This is the time for them to
construct roads, drainages, fences, and pavements and do some road repair ang drainage
improvement.
Activities Suited for Wet Season
During the wet season, activities are mostly indoors. You can have indoor activities
like reading books; watching television; writing short stories, poems, and songs; playing
musical instruments; blogging; chatting; surfing the internet; and playing video games.
Indoor games with families and programs could also be done in the gym or covered court.
For farmers, the wet season is important, for this is the time for planting.

HOW THE EARTH’S REVOLUTION AFFECT SEASONS?
The movement of the earth around the sun is called revolution. The earth revolves
around the sun following an elliptical path called orbit. It takes one year or twelve months or
365 ¼ days for the earth to make a complete revolution around the sun. On every fourth
year known as the leap year, the earth revolves for 366 days. The position of the earth in the
solar system, as it revolves around the sun, affects the seasons on the earth. The varied
seasons are caused by the differences in the angle at which the sun’s rays strike.

by the differences in the angle at which the sun’s rays strike. Study the different positions of
the earth as it revolves around the sun. Observe whether its axis tilts toward the sun or away
from it. The tilt of the earth’s axis as it revolves around the sun and rotates on its axis causes
different parts of the earth to receive the vertical rays of the sun at different times of the year.
Daylight hours are longer for the hemisphere tilted towards the sun. There are only two
seasons in the Philippines, dry and rainy. In other countries, there are four seasons. When
it is very hot, it is Summer. When the leaves of the plants dry up and fall, it is Fall or Autumn.
When the surrounding is very cold because it is filled with snow, it is Winter. When leaves
or the trees appear, then it is Spring.
The movement of the earth around the sun is called revolution. The earth revolves
around the sun following an elliptical path called orbit. It takes one year or twelve months or
365 ¼ days for the earth to make a complete revolution around the sun. On every fourth
year known as the leap year, the earth revolves for 366 days. The position of the earth in the
solar system, as it revolves around the sun, affects the seasons on the earth.
The varied seasons are caused by the differences in the angle at which the sun’s rays
strike. Study the different positions of the earth as it revolves around the sun. Observe whether
its axis tilts toward the sun or away from it. The tilt of the earth’s axis as it revolves around the
sun and rotates on its axis causes different parts of the earth to receive the vertical rays of
the sun at different times of the year. Daylight hours are longer for the hemisphere tilted
towards the sun. There are only two seasons in the Philippines, dry and rainy. In other
countries, there are four seasons. When it is very hot, it is Summer. When the leaves of the
plants dry up and fall, it is Fall or Autumn. When the surrounding is very cold because it is
filled with snow, it is Winter. When leaves or the trees appear, then it is Spring.
The earth’s rotation causes day and night. The tilt of the earth’s axis and its revolution
around the sum cause changes in the seasons.
There are only 2 seasons in the Philippines, dry, and rainy seasons. In other countries
they have summer, autumn, winter and spring.
 Why does the Philippines have only two seasons?
The Philippines is located near the equator of the earth. The equator has no seasons
due to getting virtually the exact same sun exposure year long. The Philippines are just a
few hundred miles from the equator hence having a similar climate. The Philippines don’t
really get that cold; it just stays hot all year. This is also due to the same reason why the
equator stays the same temperature. Also, the ocean plays a vital role in keeping the
temperatures the same with its mild breeze. The only difference is that the Philippines gets just
a little more sun in the summer and a little less sun in the winter. The sun exposure length is
slightly less in the winter than in the summer so this means that the temperature will be slightly
less in the winter than in the summer.
Actually the Philippine seasons are “dry” and “wet” or “Monsoon” as some people call it.
The month that has the highest average temperature is April with an average high of 93
degrees Fahrenheit and approximately 32-35 degrees Celsius. May through October is really
wet in the Philippines with over 60 inches of rain in that period. December through April stays
relatively dry with the occasional shower in December.

The Weather Elements

What causes weather? Why do weather conditions keep on changing? There are
several elements that act together to produce weather. But three elements are more
important than the others. They are heat, air, and water. Let us ` see how these
elements together create the weather.

A. Heat and Air Pressure

The sun produces huge amounts of heat. Only a small part, however, reaches the earth
as light and other forms of radiant energy. It takes solar energy about eight minutes before it
enters the earth's atmosphere. Weather develops when the sun's heat acts on the air around
the earth.
When sunlight strikes the earth's atmosphere, it does not cause the atmosphere to
become warm. But sunlight reaches the ground and the heat from the ground warms the air.
When air gets heated, it becomes lighter and rises activity, you see the powdered air is
pushed upward by the heat from the electric bulb. Heated air also expands or takes up more
space. The balloon measures slightly bigger after heating it for some time. As the air rises,
the cooler it becomes.
An area where air pressure is high is called high or a high pressure area. It is
usually associated with fair weather. An area where air pressure is low is called low or low
pressure area. It is usually associated with foul, bad or stormy weather. When barometric
pressure is falling, a low pressure is approaching. When it is rising, a high pressure is
approaching. The earth's atmosphere is full of high and low pressure areas. Warmer, lighter
air means lower pressure, while colder air means higher pressure. Air rises in the low
pressure areas and sinks back to earth in the high pressure areas. Air moves from high
pressure regions to regions of low pressure. The greater the pressure difference in
pressures, the stronger is the wind.
B. Air and Temperature
Air moves from place at varying rates of speed. As it moves, it may carry warm air, cool air,
dry air or moist air. Air in motion is called wind.
C. Water and Humidity
When you put the water glass upside down on the grass. Water from the glass and soil
evaporate. It becomes water vapor which have been cooled slowly on the side of the glass.
So, you feel a watery film or fine drops of the glass. The same thing happens when you put
ice on a glass of water or soft drink.
 All day long, water from ponds, rivers, plants and animals is heated by the sun and
evaporates. The hotter it is, the quicker water evaporates. More water will evaporate also
from a large surface than a small one. That is why the spread of cloth dried faster than the
folded cloth. Water evaporates more quickly when the air is dry. Maybe you have noticed
that your perspiration dries quickly on a hot dry day. But when the air on a hot day is moist or
humid, your perspiration stays on your body. Then, you feel wet and uncomfortable.
When the air is dry, humidity is low. When the air is moist or wet, humidity is high.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air at a given time. It is what makes the
atmosphere moist. It is measured by an instrument called hygrometers.

Quarter 4 Week 5
Motions of Earth: Earth’s Rotation and Its Effects
Background Information
During the 1500s to 1600, scientist Johannes Kepler established that the planets
revolve around the sun. Not until Sir Isaac Newton expanded Kepler’s work for, he was
able to established that gravity affects the planetary motion. Today, we all know that the
earth has two primary motions: rotation and revolution. These motions are responsible in all
the life cycles our planet experience.
 Earth’s Rotation
Rotation is the movement of a planet on its axis (an imaginary line which a planet
rotates). Earth rotates in a counterclockwise motion (from west to east) in a period of 23
hours, 56 minutes and 4.2 seconds. Earth’s rotation is inclined or tilted by 23.5 degrees
relative to its plane of revolution around the sun. That is why, whenever we observe the sky,
it appears that the sun, moon, planets and stars orbit the earth but it is not. It appears that way
because our planet rotates once every day, or 15˚ per hour.

Effects of Earth’s Rotation

1. Occurrence of Day and Night
Earth’s rotation results to the occurrence of day and night. The places the sun is
facing experience daytime while those facing away from the sun experience
nighttime.
2. Daily Rising and Setting of the Sun, Stars and Moon
The pattern motions visible in the sky is the daily rising and setting of the sun, stars
and moon are the result of the earth’s rotation. The sun rises in the east and
sets in the west, so as the moon, planets and stars.
3. Flow of Air and Water
The earth’s rotation affects the flow of air and water in our planet. The flow of air and
water is diverted from north-south direction to east-west direction. This is also
known as Coriolis Effect.
Learning Competency with Code

Characteristics of Planets in the Solar System
Background Information
The solar system includes the Sun and the eight planets. The Sun being the
biggest object in the solar system is at the center and the eight planets revolve around it.
There are also other members of the solar system these are the comet, meteoroids, and
asteroids. The planets are divided into two groups. The inner planets and the outer
planets. The inner planets are the four closer planets to the sun and they are also called
Terrestrial
planets because of their dense and rocky composition. The outer planets are the four
farther planets from the sun and they are also called Jovian or the gas giants because of
their
bigger sizes and gaseous composition. The inner planets are the Mercury, Venus,
Earth, and Mars. The outer planets are the Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Look at the picture and study their characteristics below.
