This
is
an
exercise
based
on
the
geologic
hazard
of
land
subsidence
in
areas
of
karst
terrain.
A
brief
introduction
is
given
to
ground
water,
the
development
of
karst,
and
the
resulting
collapse
features
due
to
the
lowering
of
the
water
table.
Photos
and
an
animation
support
the
discussion.
Users
are
directed
to
print
out
a
question
sheet
that
is
intended
to
guide
exploration
of
the

Lava flows and their effects on areas surrounding volcanoes are explained in this United States Geological Survey (USGS) publication. Examples are sited from the Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes in Hawaii, and the Unzen volcano in Japan. The site also links to specific case studies of lava flow destruction.

is
part
of
a
volcanology
research
project
and
a
project
in
teaching
Earth
Sciences.
Its
primary
goal
is
to
spread
volcanological
data
and
research
results,
mainly
about
Stromboli,
an
island
volcano
in
Italy.
The
creators
would
like
to
give
users
the
feeling
of
(almost)
being
part
of
on-going
research
on
this

This
website
offers
an
overview
and
sample
of
the
Exploring
the
Dynamic
Earth
module
(the
actual
module
must
be
purchased).
In
the
module,
students
explore
patterns
of
earthquakes,
volcanoes,
and
topography
to
develop
an
understanding
of
plate
tectonics.
They
use
seafloor
age
data
to
calculate
rates
of
plate
motion
in
the
past
and
make
predictions
of
how
plate
configurations
may
change
in
the
future.
