Hello! Follow the following links and answer the questions on a separate piece of paper, on a printed word doc. Please hand in your assignment to the TOC.
Part 1: Current Events - Tectonics
Go to http://www.nasa.gov/feature/possible-ice-volcano-on-pluto-has-the-wright-stuff
1. What is the Wright Mons, and why is this a pretty amazing discovery?
Go to https://www.wired.com/2016/10/iceland-katla-volcano-mexico-colima/
2. Choose 2 places in the world that are currently 'volcanically active' and record what's been happening there lately.

Go to http://www.express.co.uk/news/science/713795/Yellowstone-eruption-supervolcano-devestation
1. When did Yellowstone last erupt?
2. How many people do volcanologists predict would die immediately if this were to explode?
3. Explain two possible effects of a supervolcano explosion.
Part 2: Cool Stuff and Facts
Go to http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-earthquakes-and-volcanoes-reveal-beating-heart-planet-180960564/?no-ist
Watch the simulation from 1960 on..
1. What interesting patterns and observations do you make after watching the simulation?
2. What connections can you make between class material and what you see in the website?
Got http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/ and click on the settings so that you can see Earthquakes in past 7 days.
3. What patterns do you notice about the earthquakes?
Part 3: Historical Eruptions
Go to http://www.livescience.com/30507-volcanoes-biggest-history.html Scroll through the list of historical eruptions. Choose 3 that are interesting to you and briefly describe them. Include death toll, reasons why eruption was deadly, other interesting facts.
Part 4: Tsunamis
Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography/natural_hazards/tsunamis_rev1.shtml
Click on the simulation images on the screen and record 3 new facts about tsunamis that you didn know.
You are finished! Complete other HW -(Earth's mysteries, or read ahead in Tectonics Study Guide - we will finish up volcanism and earthquakes next week).
