Eruption!
is
a
volcanic
crisis
simulation
model
that
showcases
a
series
of
villages
that
surround
an
active
volcano
and
is
part
of
the
Interactive
Models
for

Education
Online
(IMGEO)
series.
The
goal
of
the
exercise
is
to
preserve
as
many
people
and
as
much
property
as
possible
in
spite
of
the
threat
from
the
volcano.

role
playing
scenario
is
part
of
the
Starting
Point
Teaching
Collection.
In
this
scenario,
students
represent
townspeople
whose
lives
and
livelihoods
are
endangered
by
an
active
volcano
which
may
or
may
not
erupt
in
the
near
future.
They
must
debate
whether
to
invest
in
or
to
abandon
their

A fly-in to Hurricane Dennis on August 27, 1999, showing the three-dimensional structure of the precipitation as measured by the Precipitation Radar instrument on TRMM. In this animation, a surface of constant precipitation is colored by the value of the precipitation on the ground under the surface. The global cloud cover data was measured by GOES.
