  • Scientist who study volcanoes are call volcanologist
  • Based onon morphology volcanoes can be classified as
    Flood plateau Basalt
    Lava dome
    Splatter or tuff cones
    Cinder cone
    Shield volcano
    Stratovolcano
  • Water can accumelate in a crater, which can form a crater lake
  • Caldera - is a volcano with large crater opening
  • Volcano - a place on earth's surface or any other planet where molten rock and gases are erupted
  • Volacanoes are known to be hot and fiery places that spew out smoke and cinder
  • The science that studies volcanoes , including the processes related of magma , fluids, and gases is volcanology
  • The term "volcano" comes from the Latin word "volcanus" which refers to the to the Roman god of fire vulcan
  • Volcanic eruptions can last days , months, or even years
  • Volcano - a hill or mountain built by the eruption of molten rocks
  • Volcanoes are opening, or vents where lava , tephra (small rocks) and steam erupt onto the earth's surface
  • Parts of volcano

  • The Philippines has five types of climates.
    Tropical rainforest
    Tropical monsoon
    Tropical savamna
    Humid subtropical
    Oceanic
  • The climate of the Philippines is tropical and maritime
  • It is characterized by relatively high temperature, high humidity and abundant rainfall it is similar in many respect to the climate of the country's of Central america
  • Climate status of the Philippines?
    The Philippines has a humid equatorial climate characterized by high temperature and heavy rainfall
  • Tropical rainforest - is a hot, humid, and flourishing dense forest , usually found around the equator.
  • Tropical monsoon - have monthly mean temperatures above 18°c (64°F) in every month of the year and a dry season.
  • Tropical savanna - a biome characterized by tall grassess and occasional trees.
  • Humid subtropical - characterized by hot, humid summers and mild, chilly winters.
  • Oceanic - is characterized by cool summers and cool winters , with a narrow annual temperature range and few extremes due to maritime influence.
  • Star - is any mass of self limitation , celestial body of gas that shines by radiation derives from its internal energy sources a star
  • Stars are huge, glowing balls of gases which includes hydrogen , helium, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, iron, and calcium .
  • Hydrogen - the lightest element, it makes up about 85% of the mass
  • Helium - it constitutes about 10% of a star
  • Helium & hydrogen (all together) - make up about 95 to 98% of a total mass of a star
  • Speetroscopes or speetrometers art tools used by astronomers to study the stars. They use prisms of different attraction grating to seperate or split the light gathered by a telescope into speetrum.
  • Continuous speetrum - consist of uninterrupted band of color , which can incandescent solid, liquid, or gas produced at high pressure. The visible light produced by the ordinary light bulbs is an example of a continuous speetrum.
  • Sir Isaac newton observed this speetrum he used a prism to seperate visible light into the different colors.
  • An omission speetrum consist of a series of bright lines off specific wavelengths produced at low pressure by hot gas
  • This bright lines occur in the same location as the darklines in an absorption speetrum
  • Only selected wavelengths of light are absorbed by the gas
  • Absorption speetrum is produced when light passed through cool gas, but at the lowlow pressure.

  • Mass is one of the characteristics of a star that is most difficult to measure
  • Binary stars are pairs ofof stars pulled towards each other by gravity , it's a common point , called center of a mass , Is where binary stars orbit each other
  • The center of the mass lies in the middle of the binary stars of they have equal masses
  • Neutron - smallest stars with a diameter of about 16km
  • Dwarf - it has a diameter of about 7300 kilometers
  • Medium size - has a diameter of about 0.1 of the diameter of the sun
