15 Lab for Dynamic Earth Volcanoes Google Earth
Lab for Dynamic Earth Volcanoes Google Earth is a virtual globe created by Google.
The goal is to be able to characterize and identify common volcano types, as well as link them to associated volcanic dangers, tectonic context, and geographic position.
The shape of a volcano is mostly determined by its eruptive style, which is influenced by magma composition and tectonic setting. This lab is designed to allow you to look at volcanoes from all around the world and evaluate the tectonic context in which they form. Visit the Smithsonian Institution Global Volcanism Program at http://volcano.si.edu/, Volcano World at http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/, and the USGS Volcanic Hazards Program at http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/ to learn more about volcanoes.
Volcanoes!
1. Travel to Chile, which is located in South America (you can go directly there by typing in the coordinates in the search bar at the upper left side of the screen -33.25, -70.35). At an eye altitude of 1000 km, center the image so that the capital, Santiago, is visible on your screen (the names of the capitols will appear as you zoom in). Make sure the image’s north is at the top.
2. Tilt the image such that you can see the South American shoreline from the north. Describe the primary tectonic features (landforms) you perceive in a few words.
3. Next, head to Descabeza (you can go directly there by typing in the coordinates in the search bar at the upper left side of the screen -35.58, -70.75).
a) Fill in the blanks below to describe the volcano’s size and shape:
The volcano’s maximum height (elevation) above sea level is meters.
The volcano’s base elevation is meters.
Total height = _____________________meters (maximum elevation base elevation).
meters is the width of the base. Volcano average slope (relief 12width)*100 percent):
b) Draw and explain Descabeza’s general shape.
c) Based on your observations, describe the volcano’s likely composition (mafic, intermediate, felsic). Give an explanation for your response.
d) Describe the main geologic hazards that this volcano poses. What do the deposits for each danger look like, and which sections of the landscape are the most affected by each hazard?
e) Examine the area by zooming out. Describe the possible tectonic setting of the Andes mountain volcanoes (crust types and relative motion). Is there a deep ocean trench west of the mountains, as a hint?
f) Based on size, shape, and composition, guess the volcanic type after the presentation on volcanoes.
4. Navigate to Mt. St. Helens in southern Washington, USA (46.1958, -122.1821).
a) The volcano’s maximum height (elevation) above sea level is: meters.
The volcano’s base elevation is meters.
Total height = _____________________meters (maximum base elevation).
meters is the width of the base. Volcano average slope (relief 12width)*100 percent):
b) Draw and explain Mt. St. Helens’ overall shape:
c) Based on your observations, describe the volcano’s likely composition. Give an explanation for your response.
d) Describe the main geologic hazards that this volcano poses. What do the deposits for each danger look like, and which sections of the landscape are the most affected by each hazard?
e) Examine the area by zooming out. Do you know if there are any other volcanoes in the area? Describe the volcanoes of the Cascade Range’s likely tectonic setting. Support your response with observations of the region’s significant tectonic landforms.
f) Based on size, shape, and composition, guess the volcanic type after the presentation on volcanoes.
5. Travel to Mauna Loa on Hawaii’s BIG island (central Pacific Ocean) (19.4715, -155.59039).
a) The volcano’s maximum height (elevation) is meters above sea level.
The volcano’s base elevation is meters above sea level.
Total height = _____________________meters (maximum base elevation).
meters is the width of the base. Volcano average slope (relief 12width)*100 percent):
b) Draw and explain Mauna Loa’s overall shape.
c) Based on your observations, describe the volcano’s likely composition. Give an explanation for your response.
d) Describe the main geologic hazards that this volcano poses. What do the deposits look like for each danger, and where are the most impacted regions of the landscape?
e) Examine the area by zooming out. Describe the Hawaiian Islands’ potential tectonic setting. (Hint: remember your tectonic homework.) Support your response with observations of the region’s significant tectonic landforms.
f) Based on size, shape, and composition, guess the volcanic type after the presentation on volcanoes.
6. Go to Mt. Fujiyama in Japan (35.364, 138.731).
a) The volcano’s maximum height (elevation) above sea level is meters.
The volcano’s base elevation is meters.
Total height = _____________________meters (maximum base elevation).
meters is the width of the base. Volcano average slope (relief 12width)*100 percent) =
b) Draw and explain Mt. Fujiyama’s overall shape:
c) Based on your observations, describe the volcano’s likely composition. Give an explanation for your response.
d) Describe the main geologic hazards that this volcano poses. What do the deposits look like for each danger, and where are the most impacted regions of the landscape? How do the volcanic dangers in this area compare to those in the vicinity of Mt. St. Helens? Start with identifying the danger of volcanic eruption, then compare the two regions.
e) Examine the area by zooming out. Describe the volcanoes’ potential tectonic setting in the Japanese region. Support your response with observations of the region’s significant tectonic landforms.
f) Based on size, shape, and composition, guess the volcanic type after the presentation on volcanoes.
7. Go to Ethiopia’s Mt. Alayta (12.887, 40.573).
a) The volcano’s maximum height (elevation) above sea level is meters.
The volcano’s base elevation is meters.
Total height = _____________________meters (maximum base elevation).
meters is the width of the base. Volcano average slope (relief 12width)*100 percent):
