This animation is an adaptation of part of a narrated video shown in the HoloGlobe exhibit at the Smithsonain Museum of Natural History and the Earth Today exhibit at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. The red triangles represent volcanic activity over a 36-year span. This animation is meant to be combined with a map of the earth, such as the Blue Marble imagery.

This animation shows global volcano activity from 1960 through 1995. The size of each triangle indicates the strength of the activity of the volcano. Recently active volcanoes are shown in bright red. After a volcano has been inactive for a period of time its symbol fades to a dull red. -

This
site
introduces
the
several
methods
geologists
use
to
monitor
changes
in
a
volcano.
These
methods
assist
in
forecasting
intrusions
and
eruptions
and
consist
of
ground
movements,
seismicity,
gas
geochemistry,
and
geology.
As
a
result
of
this
lesson,
students
will
realize
that
eruptions
have
precursor
activities,
recognize
patterns
in
volcano
behavior,
and
interpret
graphical
data.
