The document provides information about Earth and Life Science Module 3 on the Earth's internal heat. It includes a title page with publication details and copyright information. The module is divided into two lessons - the first on sources of the Earth's internal heat from primordial heat left over from formation and radioactive decay, and the second on magmatism or rock melting within the Earth. Heat is transferred outward by convection in the mantle, and magma is formed by decompression melting as rock rises.
The document discusses the unique properties of Earth that enable life. It describes how Earth's distance from the sun, atmosphere, size and mass, magnetic field, and presence of water all contribute to regulating temperature and protecting life from radiation. The atmosphere protects living things through mechanisms like photodissociation that break down ozone into elemental oxygen, converting harmful radiation to less harmful radiation. Earth's gravity also helps maintain its atmosphere and keep the moon in orbit. Understanding Earth's unique characteristics is significant for recognizing what enables life on the planet.
Earth's interior heat comes from two main sources: residual heat left over from the planet's formation and ongoing radioactive decay within Earth's core and mantle. This heat keeps the outer core liquid through convection of iron and nickel, generating the Earth's magnetic field, and drives thermal convection in the mantle which powers plate tectonics at the surface. Heat is eventually released through volcanic and tectonic activity that forms and cools new crust.

This document provides information about metamorphism and igneous rocks. It defines metamorphism as the change of minerals or texture in rocks without melting due to heat, pressure, or fluids. It describes different types of metamorphism including burial, regional, contact, and dynamic. It also defines igneous rocks as those formed from cooling magma and describes intrusive and extrusive varieties and examples like granite, basalt, and pumice.
Convection currents in the earth's mantle cause the movement of tectonic plates. Faults form at the boundaries of these plates where the rocks are weak. When stress builds up along fault lines from the movement of plates, it causes the faults to slip suddenly and generate earthquakes. There are three main types of faults - normal, reverse, and strike-slip - which move in different ways due to tensional, compressional, or shear stresses. Active faults have generated earthquakes within the last 10,000 years and may continue to do so, while inactive faults have not produced quakes recently but could still be capable of generating future seismic activity.
Plate tectonics is the geological theory that the Earth's outermost layer, the lithosphere, is broken into tectonic plates that move across the mantle. The theory was developed in the 1960s-1970s from evidence of seafloor spreading, paleomagnetism, and the distribution of fossils, earthquakes, and volcanoes. The Earth's interior is divided into layers - the crust, mantle, and core. The crust consists of continental and oceanic plates that move due to convection currents in the mantle, causing phenomena like subduction and seafloor spreading.
The Earth's interior is hot due to two main sources of heat: primordial heat generated during Earth's formation from the condensation of gas and dust particles, and radioactive heat generated by the long-term radioactive decay of uranium, thorium, and other radioactive elements in Earth's core. These heat sources have not dissipated completely, accounting for about 10% of total heat still inside the Earth and causing volcanic eruptions at the surface.
The document discusses the Earth's internal energy and how it causes tectonic plate movement and related geological phenomena. The main points are:
1) The Earth has internal heat from radioactive elements and impacts that causes plate tectonics and results in volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building.
2) Alfred Wegener proposed continental drift in 1912 to explain how the continents were once joined together before drifting apart, as evidenced by matching continental shelves.
3) The Earth's solid crust is made up of tectonic plates that move due to convection currents in the mantle, resulting in earthquakes and volcanic activity at plate boundaries.
Convection currents are caused by the movement of warm materials rising and cool materials sinking. Within the atmosphere, convection is the primary method of heat transfer through the troposphere. Convection also occurs in the mantle as very hot material deep in the mantle rises, cools, sinks, and repeats this cycle. In oceans and pots of water, convection currents form as warmer water rises and cooler water sinks, moving in a continuous cycle. Convection also takes place within the sun as large amounts of hot gas rise towards the surface, cool, and fall back towards the center to repeat the cycle.

1. Harry Hess proposed the theory of seafloor spreading in 1962, which provided evidence that Wegener's theory of continental drift was correct. Hess theorized that new ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges through volcanic eruptions and then spreads outwards, pushing older crust farther away.
2. Evidence for seafloor spreading includes rock formations only possible from cooled lava, magnetic stripe patterns in ocean crust recording reversals of Earth's magnetic field, and drilling samples showing younger rock nearer to ridges.
3. Seafloor spreading is driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle; subduction zones allow parts of ocean crust to sink back into the mantle and regulate ocean size.
1) Moseley's X-ray spectroscopy experiments in 1913 demonstrated that an element's atomic number determines its properties and led to the discovery of gaps in the periodic table.
2) In the 1930s and 1940s, scientists used particle accelerators to synthesize elements by bombarding target elements with subatomic particles, successfully creating new elements like technetium, astatine, neptunium, and plutonium to fill in the gaps.
3) The concept of atomic number and advances in particle accelerator technology enabled scientists to artificially produce heavy transuranium elements that were previously unknown in nature.
The document discusses plate tectonics and the structure and dynamics of the Earth's interior. It describes how the crust is broken into plates that move atop the mantle due to convection currents, and the three types of plate boundaries: divergent where plates move apart, convergent where they move together, and transform where they slide past each other. It provides examples of associated geological features like mid-ocean ridges, subduction zones, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
Earth and Life Science "Introduction to life"Khaystar Juanta
This document discusses the key characteristics of life. It identifies seven characteristics shared by all living things: 1) cellular organization, 2) reproduction, 3) metabolism, 4) homeostasis, 5) heredity, 6) responsiveness, and 7) growth and development. Each characteristic is then further explained, with cellular organization distinguishing unicellular from multicellular organisms, and reproduction defined as asexual or sexual. The document also provides examples to illustrate metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, and responsiveness.
Magma forms deep in the Earth's crust and upper mantle through the process of partial melting. Heat from the mantle causes rocks like quartz and feldspar to melt at temperatures over 650°C. Additional melting occurs through decompression as magma rises to shallower depths and pressure decreases, or through flux melting when water or carbon dioxide are added to already hot rocks. Once a volcano erupts, the magma is called lava on the Earth's surface.

Lighter elements like hydrogen, helium, and lithium were formed during the Big Bang, while heavier elements are formed through nuclear fusion processes inside stars. Elements up to iron are fused in the cores of stars through the triple alpha process, CNO cycle, and alpha ladder. When stars explode as supernovae, even heavier elements are created via the r-process of rapid neutron capture or the s-process of slow neutron capture in red giants.
The instructional planning document outlines a detailed lesson plan for teaching 9th grade science. The lesson focuses on explaining ionic and covalent bonds. It includes objectives, content, procedures, assessment, and reflections. The procedures involve introducing valence electrons, writing Lewis structures, analyzing properties of ionic and covalent compounds, discussing bond formation, and relating it to a story example. Assessment includes multiple choice questions to evaluate understanding of electronegativity, bond types, and properties related to ionic and covalent compounds. The teacher reflects on helping students understand how bond formation relates to electron configuration and atomic properties.
The document summarizes endogenous processes that generate heat within the Earth and how that heat is transferred. It discusses two main sources of internal heat: primordial heat generated during Earth's formation through accretion and radioactive decay of isotopes. Heat is transferred through convection in the mantle and conduction at boundaries. Magmas form through decompression melting at mid-ocean ridges and mantle plumes, or flux and heat transfer melting at subduction zones. Endogenous processes like magmatism, volcanism/plutonism, and metamorphism influence rock behavior and landform evolution.
Earth's internal heat comes from three main sources:
1) The accretion of dust and gas particles during the Earth's formation released gravitational potential energy and caused internal heating.
2) Radioactive decay of elements in the Earth's core and mantle, such as uranium and potassium, continues to generate heat.
3) Frictional heating from convection currents in the mantle also contributes to the Earth's internal heat. Seismic waves have allowed scientists to indirectly learn about the Earth's layered structure despite only drilling about 7 miles deep.
Formation of Elements in the Big Bang and Stellar EvolutionWengel Mae Wales
The document discusses the formation of elements in the big bang and stellar evolution. It explains that during the big bang, light elements such as hydrogen, helium, and lithium were formed through nuclear fusion reactions. Heavier elements were later produced during stellar nucleosynthesis inside stars through nuclear fusion reactions like the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle and triple alpha process. Supernovae explosions further contributed to the production of heavier elements that were then dispersed throughout the universe.
Origin of the Universe and the Solar SystemNikoPatawaran
The most widely accepted theory of planetary formation, known as the nebular hypothesis, maintains that 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System formed from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud which was light years across.
Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, inorganic, homogeneous solid with definite chemical composition and that exhibits a crystalline structure.
Characteristics of Minerals
1. A mineral is Naturally-Occurring
A mineral should be naturally-occurring with respect to its formation.
It should be made by natural processes without the aid of any organism.
In the case of laboratory studies, any material that is formed in laboratories or artificial conditions is not considered a mineral.
2. A mineral is Inorganic
It is formed by inorganic processes and does not contain any organic compound.
The process to produce a mineral by natural means is extended further by making sure that no organic material ( or what was once part of an organism) be considered a mineral.
This would mean that bones, shells, teeth, and other hard parts of an organism are not minerals.
3. A mineral is a homogeneous Solid
We should be able to see something that is uniform in appearance and is in the solid state of matter.
This property of minerals is very important especially when dealing with materials in other states such as liquids and gases.
A mineral should exhibit stability at room temperature, which can only be attained if it is solid.
4. A mineral has a definite Chemical Composition
Most minerals are chemical compounds and can therefore be represented using a fixed or variable chemical formula.
Example:
A mineral with a fixed chemical formula is quartz (SiO2). This indicates that the mineral quartz contains one silicon atom and two oxygen atoms.
5. A mineral has an ordered internal/crystalline structure
Minerals look like crystals since the arrangement of their atoms is ordered and repetitive.
Atoms of minerals are arranged in an orderly and repeating pattern.
NOTE: Knowing whether a material is crystalline or not would require sophisticated methods such as involving the use of X-rays (XRD).
Mineraloids
Any material which passes most of the criteria (but not all) we have set can be considered a mineraloid.
Most of the time, mineraloids are naturally-occurring, inorganic, homogeneous solids with definite chemical compositions but with no ordered internal structure.
Examples of mineraloids are volcanic glass and opal.

The document discusses the Earth's unique characteristics that make it habitable and able to support life. It focuses on three key aspects: the presence of liquid water, heat sources, and the atmosphere. Liquid water is essential for life and was brought to Earth by comets or volcanism. The Earth exists within the habitable zone of the Sun where water can be liquid. Heat sources both internally from the Earth's core and externally from the Sun allow life-sustaining temperatures. The atmosphere supports photosynthesis, regulates gases and temperature, and its existence is due to the Earth's gravity holding it in place.
The document discusses the different types of rocks:
1) Rocks are classified based on their formation, composition, and texture. They are formed through igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic processes.
2) Igneous rocks form from the cooling of magma, and can be intrusive or extrusive. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of sediments. Metamorphic rocks form from changes to pre-existing rocks via heat, pressure, and chemical reactions.
3) The document provides examples of different types of rocks for each category, and describes their key characteristics such as mineral composition, grain size, layering, and whether they contain aligned mineral grains.
Don Earth & Life Science Daily Lesson Log (DLL)DONBUMACAS
This document is a daily lesson log for an Earth and Life Science class covering the origin of the universe and solar system. Over four days, students learned about various hypotheses on the origins through presentations, activities, and quizzes. They discussed theories like the Big Bang and developed their own understandings. Formative assessments tested their ability to describe cosmological structures, explain evidence for expansion, and compare solar system features to recent scientific advances. The goal was for students to understand cosmological origins and appreciate their relevance through both academic and personal perspectives.
The document discusses the unique features of Earth that make it suitable for life. It notes that scientists have been searching for extraterrestrial life by discovering exoplanets but that Earth has specific attributes that enable life, including being the right distance from the sun for liquid water, having an atmosphere, molecular oxygen, water, and internal heat generation, as well as a magnetosphere and lightning. These characteristics work together to protect life and provide the essential ingredients and energy needed to support life on Earth.
This document provides information about stars and their formation. It begins by discussing how the universe originated from the Big Bang approximately 13 billion years ago. It then explains that early in the universe's formation, light elements like hydrogen and helium were formed through nuclear fusion. The document goes on to state that stars are formed from clouds of dust and gas in nebulae, and that nuclear fusion in the cores of stars is responsible for forming heavier elements.

This document provides information about endogenic processes and magmatism. It discusses how the Earth's internal heat comes from radioactive decay, accretion during planetary formation, and friction during planetary formation. It also describes how magma is formed through decompression melting, increased temperature, and flux melting. Magma is classified as basaltic, andesitic, or rhyolitic based on its chemical composition, temperature, viscosity and gas content. More viscous magmas such as rhyolitic erupt explosively while less viscous magmas such as basalt flow as lava.

This lesson plan covers the formation and development of typhoons. It includes objectives, content understanding, learning resources, activities to engage students, and an assessment. Students will learn that typhoons form from warm, moist air rising over the ocean and condensing into clouds and rainfall. As more warm air rises to replace the air that formed the clouds, winds begin to circulate, potentially strengthening into a typhoon. The lesson uses videos, diagrams, and questions to help students understand the factors and step-by-step process of how typhoons form and develop.
Science6 Q4week 1 Day1- layers of the Earth.pptxBryanBangiban1
The document describes the different layers that make up the Earth, including the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. It explains that the crust and upper mantle make up the lithosphere, while the lower mantle and outer core are fluid. Each layer becomes hotter as you move deeper into the Earth, with the inner core being the hottest at over 5000 degrees Celsius due to intense pressure.
1) Soil forms through the processes of physical and chemical weathering as temperature, rainfall, chemical changes, and biological action act on rocks. Climate, expressed through temperature and rainfall, is often the most powerful factor in soil formation.
2) Physical weathering breaks rocks down mechanically through processes like thermal stress from temperature changes and frost wedging from water freezing in cracks. Chemical weathering alters the composition of rocks through reactions with carbon dioxide, oxygen, or water.
3) Several factors contribute to weathering, including temperature changes that cause rocks to expand and contract, water that enters cracks and freezes, roots and burrowing animals that break rocks apart, wind that carries away rock particles, and human activities
The document discusses radioactive decay and its role in generating Earth's internal heat. Radioactive elements decay and release heat throughout the planet. This radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust produces radiogenic heat. Primordial heat refers to the heat left over from Earth's formation. Convection currents in the mantle transfer heat via fluid movement from the interior to the surface. Magma is stored in the mantle beneath the crust and magmatism occurs in the lithosphere.

Here are the answers to the questions:
Q1: The hypothesis of continental drift states that the continents were once joined together and have been slowly drifting apart over hundreds of millions of years.
Q2: Other scientists of Wegener's time rejected his hypothesis because he could not provide a mechanism to explain how and why the continents would move. They thought the continents were stationary.
Q3: The location of coal beds differs in the two continents. Coal beds in South America match those found in Africa, suggesting the two continents were once joined. This provides evidence supporting continental drift.

TAAL VOLCANO ERUPTION
At 11:00 PM of July 1, 2021, PHIVOLCS released an update on the eruption
of Taal Volcano. Part of the content of the update is as follows:
Alert Level 3 (Magmatic Unrest) was raised over Taal Volcano at 3:37
PM today, after a phreatomagmatic eruption from the Main Crater occurred at
3:16 PM. The eruption lasted five (5) minutes based on visual monitors and
generated a dark jetted plume approximately one (1) kilometer high. The event
recorded mid-course as a low-frequency explosion earthquake but was not
preceded by seismic or ground deformation precursors. However,
anomalously high volcanic SO2 gas emission preceded the eruption,
averaging 14,241 tonnes/day and 13,287 tonnes/day respectively on 28
June and 1 July (morning of today) 2021. A marked increased in volcanic gas
upwelling also began on 28 June 2021 that generated plumes that rose some
three (3) kilometers above Taal Volcano Island.

What Is It
Why is the Earth’s interior hot?
The Earth’s internal heat comes from primordial heat and radioactive heat.
Primordial heat refers to the leftover heat from the formation of our planet.
This heat was generated by collisions of large and small particles that created the
Earth and the redistribution of material within Earth by gravitational forces (e.g.,
sinking of iron to form the core). Radioactive heat
comes from the spontaneous radioactive decay of
uranium-235 (235U), uranium-238 (238U), potassium-
40 (40K), and thorium-232 (232Th). These unstable
isotopes are both found in the crust and mantle and
release energy when they decay.
How is the Earth's internal heat redistributed?
Studies of the Earth’s interior indicate that the
heat from the core is being brought near the surface
through convection in the mantle.
The convection of the mantle is a product of
the transfer of heat from the core to the lower
mantle. The material near the heat source (core)
becomes hot and expands, making it lighter than the
material above. The force of buoyancy causes it to
rise, and cooler material flows in from the sides.
Even if the mantle material is solid rock, it
undergoes convection, because it is sufficiently plastic which allows it to slowly flow.
How is heat from the Earth’s interior released to the surface?
Through convection, hotter mantle rock
rises to an area of lower pressure. Areas of
lower pressure always have a lower melting
point than areas of high pressure. This
reduction in overlying pressure enables the
rock to melt and form magma.
In general, magma begins to rise
because it is less dense than the surrounding
solid rocks. It can push through holes or
cracks in the crust, causing a volcanic
eruption.

Now I learned why the Earth’s
interior is hot. It is due to the
trapped heat from the time when
our planet was formed, and the
energy released by radioisotopes.
I am curious about magma.
It is generated by convection
in the mantle. Is this the
only way magma is
produced?

What Is It
Magma
Magma is extremely hot liquid rock located under the Earth’s surface. It forms
from the partial melting of existing rock. When magma flows or erupts onto Earth’s
surface, it is called lava.
Composition of Magma
Magma can vary widely in composition depending on the rock it was formed
from, and the conditions of melting. The higher the amount of silica (SiO2) in the
magma, the higher is its viscosity. Viscosity is a liquid’s resistance to flow.
Mafic magma is low in silica and contain darker, magnesium- and iron-rich
mafic minerals, such as olivine and pyroxene. Felsic magma is higher in silica and
contain lighter colored minerals such as quartz and orthoclase feldspar.
Partial Melting
Partial melting happens when only some parts of a rock melt. It takes place
because rocks are not pure materials. Most rocks are made up of several minerals,
each of which has a different melting temperature.
Mechanisms of Magma Formation
Crust and mantle are almost entirely solid indicating that magma only forms
in special places where pre-existing solid rocks undergo melting.
• Melting due to decrease in pressure (decompression melting): The decrease
in pressure affecting a hot mantle rock at a constant temperature permits
melting forming magma. When pressure is decreased, melting can occur
because the bonds between the particles can be broken down and move
farther away from each other.
• Melting as a result of the addition of volatiles – compounds that have low
boiling points (flux melting): When volatiles such as water mix with hot, dry
rock, the volatile decreases the rock’s melting point and they help break the
chemical bonds in the rock to allow melting.
• Melting resulting from heat transfer from rising magma (heat transfer
melting): Rising magma transfers heat to surrounding rocks at shallower
depths.
Locations of Magma Formation
Magma forms in divergent boundaries, hotspots, and subduction zones. All
these areas experience heat transfer melting.
• Divergent boundaries are formed
when two plates move away from
each other.
➢ Rising hot mantle rock leads to
decompression melting.

• Hotspots are formed when hot
materials rise from deep within
the mantle.
➢ These locations undergo
decompression melting due
to the upward movement of hot
materials.
Figure 5. Hotspot
Image Credit: Auburn University via Plate Tectonics
<https://tinyurl.com/2trfjsdf>
• Subduction zones are formed
when an oceanic plate is pushed
under another plate.
➢ Flux melting occurs when
water mixes with hot rocks as
the lower plate moves down.

What I Have Learned
SOURCES OF THE EARTH’S INTERNAL HEAT
• The Earth’s internal heat comes from primordial heat and radioactive heat.
• Primordial heat is leftover heat from the collision of particles and the
rearrangement of materials when Earth was still developing into a planet.
• Radioactive heat comes from energy released by the decay of uranium-235,
uranium-238, potassium-40, and thorium-232 found in the crust and mantle.
• Convection in the mantle redistributes heat from the core closer to the Earth’s
surface. During convection, hotter rocks rise and cooler rocks sink.
MAGMATISM
• Magma is liquid rock under the Earth’s surface.
• Mafic magma is low in silica and contain darker minerals. Felsic magma is
higher in silica and contain lighter colored minerals.
• Magma forms from the partial melting of rocks from the mantle or crust.
• Partial melting is the melting of some parts of the rock only. This happens
because the rocks are made up of different minerals, each of which has a different
melting point.
• Magma is generated through decompression melting, flux melting, and heat
transfer melting.
➢ Decompression melting occurs when a hot body of rock experiences a
decrease in pressure by moving towards the surface.
➢ Flux melting takes place when flux, a substance that decreases melting
temperature, is added to a hot body of rock. Water and other volatiles act as
flux.
➢ Heat transfer melting is the partial melting of rocks at shallower depths
caused by heat coming from rising magmas.
• Magma forms in divergent boundaries, hotspots, and subduction zones.
➢ Divergent boundaries are formed when two tectonic plates move away from
each other.
➢ Hotspots are hot areas inside the Earth made by rising hot materials from
deep within the mantle.
➢ Subduction zones are formed when the collision of tectonic plates
pushes an oceanic plate under another plate.

8. Which processes of generating magma are at
work in Figure 10?
A. heat transfer and flux melting
B. decompression and flux melting
C. compression and volcanic melting
D. decompression and heat transfer melting
9. What is magma? It is ________________.
A. melted iron from the inner core
B. hot liquid rock on the Earth’s surface
C. hot liquid rock under the Earth’s surface
D. formed from the melting of extrusive
igneous rocks
10.When does flux melting occur?
It occurs when a body of rock near melting point ____________________________.
A. becomes unstable making rocks disintegrate
B. fluctuates in composition making it melt faster
C. changes in composition with a higher melting temperature
D. mixes with a substance that lowers its melting temperature
11.What does convection in the mantle do to the Earth’s internal heat? It _______.
A. increases the temperature of the core
B. transfers heat from the crust to the core
C. distributes heat from the core closer to the surface
D. decreases the temperature of the crust and mantle
12.Where does the Earth’s primordial heat come from? It is the remaining heat from
______________________ when the Earth was still developing into a planet.
A. meteors that hit the surface
B. underwater volcanoes that erupted in the past
C. trapped radiation because of a very thick atmosphere
D. the collision of particles and the redistribution of materials
13.Why does partial melting of rocks happen?
It happens because most rocks are made up of __________________________.
A. several minerals, each with a different melting point
B. one type of mineral making it easy to melt the whole rock
C. one very strong mineral making it difficult to melt the whole rock
D. several hard minerals so different chemicals are used for melting rocks
14.Which statement about melting in subduction zones is FALSE?
A. Flux decreases the melting temperature of hot rocks.
B. Rising hot materials transfer heat to surrounding rocks.
C. The subducted tectonic plate melts because of compression.
D. The movement of the subducted plate causes volatiles to mix with hot and
dry mantle rock.
15.Why does decompression melting occur in hotspots?
A. Rocks near hotspots are very dense that they melt.
B. Hotspots have very high temperatures that melt surrounding rocks.
C. Rising hot materials from the mantle experience a decrease in pressure.
D. Sinking hot materials from the mantle undergo an increase in pressure.
