Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.
Students categorize causes, effects, and responses to volcanic hazards through an Earth system perspective. They use remotely sensed images to examine the visible effects of the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 and identify a buffer zone for safer locations for development.
Students collect and analyze temperature data to explore what governs how much energy is reflected.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
