5
Where are the Volcanoes?

• Understand that most volcanism occurs beneath the
  ocean.

6
Volcanic Landforms

• Understand basic relationships between magma
  composition and type of volcano formed.

7
Volcanic Hazards Flows

• Measure and understand how volume, temperature,
  slope, and channelization affect the flow of
  fluids.

8
Volcanic Hazards Airborne Debris

• Interpret maps and graph data from past volcanic
  eruptions to understand the range in scale of
  volcanic eruptions.

9
Volcanoes and the Atmosphere

• Understand that gases are dissolved in magma and
  emitted during volcanism.

10
Volcanic History of Your Community

• Interpret geologic maps to search for evidence of
  volcanism.

11
Monitoring Active Volcanoes

• Understand that volcanoes go through changes that
  can be monitored prior to an eruption.

Completing the Chapter Challenge

• EarthComm students share the results of their
  inquiry in and beyond the classroom.
