Active Volcanoes

Today you will study the currently active volcanoes of the world.

Go here to find a list of volcanoes that are active this week.

Study three active volcanoes by doing the following for each:

1) Explain as well as you can what the volcano is doing right now and find a picture.

2) Find the volcano in Google Earth and take a picture of it. Every volcano has a google earth link on its information page.

3) Open the Realtime Earthquakes file from yesterday's assignment and see if each volcano is near a plate boundary. Use the Tectonic Plate Boundary checkboxes to find out what kind of boundary it is. Take a picture of the plate boundary.


Put this all in an Appleworks document and turn in to the Active Volcanoes folder on the server.
