Learn about volcanic ash and watch a visualization of the Calbuco volcano to see how ash travels around the world. 

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

Explore the energy and matter cycles found within the Earth System. 

Students use scale to determine the area of volcanic deposits following the March 3, 2015 eruption of Chile's Mount Villarrica stratovolcano, one of the country's most active volcanoes.

Students categorize causes, effects, and responses to volcanic hazards through an Earth system perspective. They use remotely sensed images to examine the visible effects of the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 and identify a buffer zone for safer locations for development.
