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.
Students model Earth's tectonic plate movement and explore the relationship between these movements and different types of volcanoes.
Learn about volcanic ash and watch a visualization of the Calbuco volcano to see how ash travels around the world.
Review this page to learn about the background of volcanoes and their eruptions.
This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.
In this activity, learners predict the likelihood of aurora on Earth by examining the Kp-index and using NOAA’s 30-minute aurora forecast.
In this activity students will compare different methods for observing the Sun’s corona and make predictions about what they will observe during the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.
