ENGLISH Flashcards
These organisms were buried,
compacted, and altered to become
a wide range of substances that are
chiefly composed of carbon.
fossil fuels
in Antique province
hosts the largest deposits of sub-
bituminous coal, which is the common
type of coal in the country.
semirara islands
Thick coal deposits that
are flat-lying and shallow.
open pit mining
Coal deposits that
are steeply-dipping
and found deeper
underground.
underground mining
Oil-producing fields include
galoc, nido, mantiloc
One of the greatest
industrial
undertakings in
Philippine history
MALAMPAYA DEEP WATER
GAS-TO-POWER PROJECT
An offshore platform built by over 1,400
Filipino workers in 2015 will help supply
30% of the country’s energy needs for a
safe, reliable, and cleaner energy
source.
MALAMPAYA DEPLETION
COMPRESSION PLATFORM
A flammable gas mixture consisting
primarily of methane, the most
abundant organic compound on
Earth.
natural gas
It involves the burial and
decomposition of organic matter
under temperature and pressure
conditions that fall within a range
called the “gas window”, which is
about 100 to 200˚C at a depth of 3
to 6 km.
thermogenic methods
Use of microorganisms to produce
methane
biogenic methods
A natural gas directly
associated with coal deposits
found deep underground.
coalbed mathane
is often touted as the
cleanest of all the fossil fuels, it
produces less carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide, and nitrous
oxide than either
coal or oil.
natural gas
It supplies the requirements of three
power plants, which produce
a total generating capacity of
2,700 MW (megawatts), as
well as the gas requirements
of Pilipinas Shell Petroleum
Corporation in Tabangao,
Batangas.
malampaya gas field in palawan
It refers to the natural
heat of Earth, which
is present in the core,
mantle, and crust.
geothermal energy
The rate at which temperature
increases with depth.
geothermal gradient
Molten rock underneath
the surface of Earth
which may heat other
nearby rocks and groundwater to as
hot as 700˚C.
magma
Natural collection of hot water.
geothermal reservoir
Produces the
highest amount of
geothermal energy
for the Philippines
at 708 MW.
TONGONAN GEOTHERMAL FIELD
Naturally occurring
inorganic solid substances
that are composed of ions and
molecules bonded together
minerals
Naturally occurring
inorganic solid substances
that are composed of ions and
molecules bonded together
minerals
A regular network where the ions
and molecules of a mineral are
arranged.
crystalline structure
Naturally formed aggregates of
minerals that may include fragments
of other older rocks, organic material
like fossils or coal, and natural gas
produced from volcanic eruptions.
rocks
Form from the solidification of lava
on the surface of Earth or of magma
underneath the ground.
igneous rocks
A tephra which fall back to the
ground and later become a special
type of igneous rock.
pyrolastic rocks
Form either from the fragments of
older rocks that were physically
weathered and eroded, or from ions
dissolved in water
that come from the
chemical weathering
of older rocks.
sedimentary rocks
Form from preexisting rocks that
have been heated, folded, or crushed
by intense geological processes like
subduction, mountain building, and
faulting.
metamorphic rocks
Rock fragments that have been
created by physical weathering and
are altered by biological processes.
soil
USES OF SOIL
for building construction
to sustain life
for growing
cropsfor building airports,
cities and roads
serve as habitats
of living creatures
