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

In this activity, students explore the Urban Heat Island Effect phenomenon by collecting temperatures of different materials with respect to their locations.  

Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.

Students will review the NASA Space Place video, "Tectonic Forces", and answer questions about tectonic plates.

Students examine satellite images of a recently formed island to identify areas of erosion and deposition.
