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.

In addition to offering visitor information, photographs, and links, this site traces the geologic history of this park to its beginnings as sedimentary rocks 1-2 billion years ago (Precambrian). It covers episodes of mountain building and erosion, the presence of dinosaurs and volcanoes, and glaciation, ending with the park's present geological state.

In this lab experiment students will use a pH indicator solution to detect the presence of carbon dioxide and changes in acidity, In addition, they will be able to explain the cause and effect relationship between lower pH levels of seawater and carbonate ion availability for shell formation in marine organisms.

In
spite
of
the
unpredictability
of
volcanoes,
scientists
have
learned
to
read
the
many
signs
they
display
prior
to
an
eruption,
in
the
hope
of
minimizing
damage
to
lives
and
personal
property.
This
video
segment
describes
efforts
of
scientists
at
the
Pinatubo
Volcanic
Observatory
to
read
the
signs
presented
by
Mount
Pinatubo,
just
before
it
unleashed
one
of
the
most
powerful

of
the
20th

The

atmospheric
CO2
measurements
constitute
the
longest
continuous
record
of

CO2
concentrations
available
in
the
world.
The
Mauna
Loa
site
is
considered
one
of
the
most
favorable
locations
for
measuring
undisturbed
air
because
possible
local
influences
are
minimal.
Methods
and
equipment
used
to
obtain
these
measurements
have
remained
essentially
unchanged
during
the
