2 seasons in the philippines
Wet and Dry
human activities can trigger a landslide
building being demolished /
team of construction workers clearing tree for a new road
A possible cause of a landslide.
slope excavation
Ways can you do to help adapt and mitigate coastal hazards
Promote the programs of the community.
Cordillera Administrative Region are included in the most landslide prone provinces in the Philippines
Because it is near in mountain ranges
The movement of rock, debris, and soil down a slope
Landslide
Ring of Fire can be found
Pacific Ocean
Landslide
Associated with a volcanic eruption/
Mix with water,it will break apart and stop flowing/
A mass movement of rock fragments,soil and debris down slope
eons and eras end in “zoic-
because these time periods were recognized by the animal life present at that time
Scientists able to arrange the fossils they gathered
according to age
geologists separate time into period
by looking at the relative time of a fossil
Fossils essential to the scientists and to the history of the Earth
describes the history of past life and environment
Relative Dating
principles to recognize the relative ages of rocks/
used stratigraphy method (oldest found at the bottom and youngest at the top/
Used to arrange geological events and the rocks they leave behind in sequence
The formation of new crust from magma that rises to the earth’s surface between the two plate boundary
Divergent boundary
Strike slip fault wherein San Andreas Fault which is bounded by the North American plate and Pacific Plate
⬆️ ⬇️
Discovery of seafloor spreading
The crust of the oceans is very young relative to the age of the crust of the continents
Intrusive igneous rock typically larger than those of extrusive igneous rock
Because the magma cool much slower
Extrusive rocks
they cool down quickly/
they have small crystals /
Basalt and scoria are example of these rocks
Intrusive igneous rocks
Diorite/
Gabbro/
Granite/
Molten rocks when they reach the Earth’s surface
They cool down and solidify non-foliated rocks /
Magma will bake the surrounding rocks dues to different in temperature
Effect of heat and precsure in rocks as there is on increase in depth.
grain size becomes coarse
Temperature and pressure affect metamorphism.
The deeper the rock depth, the higher the pressure and temperature.
During partial melting of magma decompression melt take place
convergent boundary
Water or Carbon dioxide is added to hot rocks, the melting points of mineral within the rocks decrease
flux melting
