This activity is one of a series in the collection, The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change activities.
Compare images from two volcanic eruptions in the Kuril Islands which occurred ten years apart and complete a graphic organizer for impacts on different Earth spheres.
Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.
This StoryMap allows students to explore the formation and impacts of ash and aerosols from volcanic eruptions around the world in a 5 E-learning cycle. They will investigate how ash and aerosols produced from volcanic eruptions are hazardous to the human ecosystem, and will analyze concentrations of aerosols from a volcanic eruption over time.
The Earth System Satellite Images, along with the Data Literacy Cubes, help the learner determine relationships among variables.
Learn about volcanic ash and watch a visualization of the Calbuco volcano to see how ash travels around the world.
