This
site
explores
the
dual
faces
of
Mother
Nature
in
Hawaii
by
examining
four
powerful
forces
(volcanoes,
earthquakes,
tsunamis,
and
hurricanes),
focusing
on
the
disastrous
impacts
as
well
as
lessons
of
hope
and
renewal.
For
each
type
of
disaster,
there
are
explanations
of
making
predictions,
types
of
damage,
warning
systems,
emergency
preparation,
and
survival
stories.

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.

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.
