This
site
contains
information
about
Lassen
Peak,
a
stratovolcano
with
a
volcanic
dome
in
the
Cascade
Range.
The
site
features
links
to
all
aspects
of
the
volcano,
such
as
its
geographic
setting,
and
geologic
and
eruptive
history.
The
site
explains
that
it
is
one
of
the
youngest
major
Cascade
volcanoes
and
that
most
of
the
mountain
is
a
single
mass
of
dacite
rock,
emplaced
in
a
relatively
short
time.

This Boston Globe news article shows 12 stunning pictures of the Chaiten Volcano erupting in Chile, its first activity in over 9,000 years. The most recent eruptive phase of the volcano began on May 2, 2008, and is ongoing. The site also has a blog of open, public commentary.

This homework exercise, which builds on knowledge gained in previous homework exercises located at the same site, asks students in an undergraduate class at Tulane University to answer some basic questions about volcanoes, and to determine the volcanic hazards associated with Mt. Rainier, Washington; Montserrat, West Indies; and Long Valley Caldera, California by searching the World Wide Web.

Not
so
long
ago,
people
living
near
volcanoes
had
little
that
might
help
them
to
anticipate
an
eruption.
A
deep
rumble,
a
puff
of
smoke,
and
ash
might
foreshadow
a
major
volcanic
event.
Or
a
volcano
might
erupt
with
no
warning
at
all.
This
interactive
feature
illustrates
some
of
the
types
of
seismic
activity
that
may
preceed
an
eruption,
which
modern
seismologists
are
studying
in
hopes
of
improving

That
portion
of
the
earth's
surface
known
as
"the
Big
Bend"
has
often
been
described
as
a
"geologist's
paradise".
In
part
this
is
due
to
the
sparse
vegetation
of
the
region,
which
allows
the
various
strata
to
be
easily
observed
and
studied.
In
addition
to
a
geologic
history
of
the
region,
this
site
includes
photographs,
maps,
recent
earthquakes,
volcanoes,

and
paleontology

how
people
prepare
for
the
worst
near
the

(including
hazard
area
identification
and
emergency
and
evacuation
plans),
hazards
from
