Students will review the NASA Space Place video, "Tectonic Forces", and answer questions about tectonic plates.
Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.
Students examine satellite images of a recently formed island to identify areas of erosion and deposition.
Compare pictures of different volcanoes. Then visit NASA's Space Place to learn about volcanoes and answer questions about volcanic eruptions.
Students will describe the changes in a newly-formed volcanic island over the first three years of its life.
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.
Learn about volcanic ash and watch a visualization of the Calbuco volcano to see how ash travels around the world.
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, helps the learner identify patterns in a specific image.
