Human
eyes
cannot
see
infrared
wavelengths,
but
with
the
help
of
false-color
imaging,
temperature
differences
become
visible
and
invisible
features
are
suddenly
illuminated.
This
interactive
gallery
shows
images
of
a
variety
of
objects
and
geothermal
features
in
both
visible
and
infrared
light,
and
explains
why
the
infrared
images
show
the
items
as
they
do.

For
hundreds
of
thousands
of
years,
lava
flows
have
created
intricate
patterns
on
the
slopes
of
Hawaii's
Mauna
Loa
volcano.
Until
the
mid-1970s,
it
was
impossible
to
know
when
each
of
the
flows
occurred.
However,
as
this
video
segment
describes,
a
researcher
has
discovered
a
way
to
date
the
flows
by
determining
the
age
of
carbonized
plant
remains
that
they
covered.

studies
the
hazards
posed
by
Mount
Rainier,
a
mainland
volcano
near
Seattle,

The
lessons
explain
the

of
Mount
Rainier,
how
people
prepare
for
the
worst

the
volcano
(including
hazard
area
identification
and
emergency
and
evacuation
plans),
hazards
from
eruption
(tephra
fall,
lava
flow,
and
pyroclastic
flow),

on
viscosity
