The fires in Greece during the summer of 2007 devastated large tracks of forest and ground cover in this Mediterranean region. Students analyze these data to determine the scale, area, and percentage of the forest impacted by of these fires.

Students examine satellite images of an island before and after a volcanic eruption to determine the impact of the eruption.

Students will analyze a graph showing the variation of energy imbalance on Earth over the year along different latitudinal zones and answer the questions that follow.

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. 

Students analyze the stability and change of sea level after watching a visualization of sea level height around the world. 

Students connect day/night and seasonal cycles with albedo in the Arctic region. 

This mini-lesson guides students' observations of soil moisture anomalies (how much the moisture content was above or below the norm) for the continental US in May 2018.

Students compare climographs for two locations to determine the most likely months to expect the emergence of mosquitoes in each location.

Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.

Arctic sea ice is the cap of frozen seawater blanketing most of the Arctic Ocean and neighboring seas in wintertime. It follows seasonal patterns of thickening and melting. Students view how the quantity has changed from 1979 through 2018.
