, Lesson 1 Earth’s Crust Week 1-2
I. Introduction
Science is a method of studying the natural world. The Earth as we know it supports a variety of living
organisms. These organisms together with the planet is the only object in the universe known to represent
life. For 4.5 billion years, the Earth undergone a dramatic change not only in terms of life evolving but also
in its complex structure and dynamic processes. The landscape that we have now is constantly changing
resulting to formation of new habitats for life to adapt and other organisms to co-exist with one another. In
this lesson, you will identify what are those processes that made the Earth the most dynamic planet in the
Solar System and the only planet that can support life
The Birth of an Island; Nishi-noshima Island, Japan (Documentary Title: Changing Worlds)
2015 2020
Nishi-noshima, a lonely young volcano erupted several times in the last 5 years and continuously erupting
as of July 2020. The eruption caused the small volcano to form an island around itself and its dramatic
expansion in a short period of time provided geologists a real-time process of island formation. (Yamazaki,
2019)
These two photographs taken separately by Himawari satellite 8 of Japan reveals the intensity of the
eruption that resulted to its expansion in the last 5 years.
One can see how smoke and steam from the resulting lava flows belches as it interacts with ocean water
causing the lava to solidify. In this lesson, we will explore the destructiveness and significance of the
so-called Earth processes which includes volcanoes, earthquakes and mountain formation that may result to
new land formations such as what is happening to Nishi-noshima Island Volcano. (Yamazaki, 2019)
Essential Questions:
1. Why should we study the changes on the Earth’s surface?
2. What are the considerations in designing disaster preparedness and emergency response
procedures?
3. How do you prepare for events related to land movement and alteration?
