Through
an
electronic
peer
review
assignment,
students
write
a
general
summary
of
major
hazards
to
humans
in
the
vicinity
of
volcanoes.
Then,
students
are
provided
a
list
of
volcanoes
and
must
choose
one
to
determine
what
actions
they
would
take
to
minimize
the
risks
to
a
population.

The
focus
of
this
series
of
modules
is
to
provide
the
operational
meteorologist
with
a
thorough
understanding
of
the
cause
and
characteristics
of
volcanic
eruptions,
detecting
volcanic
ash,
forecasting
plume
movement,
and
assessing
societal
impacts.
This
knowledge
will
increase
the
meteorologist's
situational
awareness
regarding
volcanoes
and
volcanic
eruptions.
It
also
will
enable
one
to
interpret

This
lesson
introduces
students
to
the
nature
of
earthquakes
and
volcanoes.
They
will
discover
how
earthquake
intensity
is
measured,
where
earthquakes
occur
(by
studying
real-time
data),
and
what
global
patterns
exist.
During
the
course
of
this
activity,
students
will
conduct
Web
research
and
collect
online
data
to
aid
in
understanding
the
experience
of
a
real
earthquake
through
reports
of
eyewitnesses
