EARTH AND SPACE
Volcanoes and Mountains
What I Need to Know
In this particular
lesson, you will
learn more
about volcanoes
and mountains.
Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
1. Define mountains; and
2. Differentiate volcanoes and mountains.
1
What I Know
MULTIPLE CHOICE
I.
Determine whether each of the statement below is true or false. Write T if
the statement is true and F if false..
1. Mountains have sharp or slightly rounded ridges and peaks.
2. The mountain summit refers to the top of a mountain.
3. A dome mountain is the most common type of mountain on Earth.
4. Fold mountains are formed from the rising magma that pushed the overlying rock
layers upward.
5. Orogeny is created through the process of fold mountains.
6. Some of the oldest rocks found on Earth are from ancient mountains.
7. The highest mountains on Earth also have the greatest density.
8. Most mountains are formed by the movement of tectonic plates.
9. A slope is the highest point of a mountain.
10. A mountain’s height can reach up to 10,000 feet tall through a geological formation.
11. A volcano is a type of mountain.
12. Volcanoes can be part of a mountain range.
13. A mountain is a landform that stretches above the surface of the Earth.
14. Movements of tectonic plates create volcanoes which erupt and form plateau.
15. A mountain has magma, crater, and lava.
What’s In
In the past lesson, you have learned about an earthquake’s epicenter which is
the point on earth's surface vertically above the hypocenter (focus), or the point on the
crust where a seismic rupture begins. It is also the point on Earth's surface directly
above a hypocenter, the point where an earthquake or an underground explosion
originates.
If you were to leave the location of an epicenter, what would be the reason
behind that decision?
2
What’s New
Volcanoes and mountains differ in several ways. A volcano is a type of a
mountain, but it has magma, crater, and lava. A mountain does not have these three
things. Mountains are peaceful areas whereas volcanoes are very much dangerous and
are not a good place to be at. Volcanoes can be a part of a mountain range.
Activity 1
Explain: Can mountains become volcanoes?

What Is It
Mountain Formations
Have you ever wondered how a mountain is formed? A mountain is formed due to
various geological processes like the movement and opposition of tectonic plates while
a volcano is formed around a vent that allows magma to reach the surface of the earth.
It all has to do with plate tectonic activities.
Also, mountain belts form along tectonic active coastlines and above subduction
zones. Much of the sedimentary rocks are marine in origin.
3
In addition, a mountain is a landform that stretches above the surface of the Earth
that can be steep like a peak or probably not so steep. Volcanoes can be similar to
mountains but volcanoes have a certain pressure inside a magma chamber that creates
an orifice through which lava and hot gases erupt into the atmosphere.
Activity 2
What do volcanoes and mountains have in common? Explain your answer.

What’s More
Most of the world’s major mountain belts are located along tectonic plate
boundaries. Movements of tectonic plates create volcanoes along the plate boundaries
which erupt and form mountains.
Activity 3
Are all mountains formed by volcanoes? Yes or No? Explain.

What’s In
In the past lesson, you have learned some information about mountains and
volcanoes and how they are similar and different. By definition, a mountain is a large
landform that rises above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a
peak and it is steeper than a hill while a volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary
mass object such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from
a magma chamber below the surface.

What’s New
Activity 1: How to measure the elevation of a mountains?
To calculate the elevation of a mountain, measure the distance between the two
points on the ground and then measure the angles between the top of the mountain and
the point. For example, if you have two angles, you would be able to know the third
angle because the total sum of all angles is 180 degrees (Molnar, 2015).
Now, try to answer the situation below.
Situation: David and Philippe are walking along a forest and they are curious
about the height of a particular mountain. They found out that the mountain measures
180 degrees.
Question: How could they have arrived with that answer? Please show your
solution.

What’s More
Most mountains are formed from the Earth’s tectonic plates colliding together.
Below the ground, the Earth’s crust is made up of multiple tectonic plates. They have
been moving around since the beginning of time. The result of the collision of the
tectonic plates is the pushing of huge slabs of rocks up towards the surface.

What’s In
Previously, you have learned that most mountains are formed from the Earth’s
tectonic plates colliding together. Below the ground, the Earth’s crust is made up of
multiple tectonic plates which have been moving around since the very beginning. The
result of the collision of tectonic plates is the pushing of huge slabs of rocks towards the
surface.

A mountain range or a hill range is a series of mountains or hills arranged in a
line and is connected by high ground. It is formed by a variety of geological processes,
but most of the significant changes on the Earth are the results of plate tectonic
activities.
18
Activity 1
Instruction: Observe the pictures above and answer the following questions:
1.What are the physical features of a mountain?
2. Explain how mountains are formed?
What Is It
Geologists have proven that mountains are formed from the Earth’s tectonic
plates smashing together. The word mountain actually came from an Old French word,
