Description

The scientific community monitors global volcanic unrest in an effort to mitigate the hazards associated with volcanism. In this investigation, students will identify regions currently affected by different types of volcanism. Data from predictive tools, such as seismometers at Mount St. Helens and tiltmeters in Hawaii, will also be evaluated. Finally, the wide-ranging effects of volcanic gasses, ash, lahars, and lava on communities, ecosystems, and even climate will be considered.
