  1. An Introduction to Volcanology Chimacum Middle School 6th Grade Earth Science

  2. Our Focus Science EALR Processes and Interactions of the Earth System 1.3 understand how interactions within and among systems cause changes in matter and energy. Benchmark (BM) #2 "Describe the processes of constructive and destructive forces and how they continually change landforms."

  3. Your Mission • You have been studying Mt. Rainier and you have to convince Governor Christine Gregoirethat it is indeed active. You need to write a letter to the Governor of Washington State to persuade him to get people near Mt. Rainier to be ready to evacuate. • describe how volcanoes work * use what you know about Mt. Saint Helens * describe Mt. Rainier and why it is considered active * make your letter convincing

  4. Each Team Member … • One person will become expert on volcano types. • One person on lava types • One person on the different eruptions. • One person on Mt Rainier mud flows. • One person on other Mt Rainier hazards. • One person on Mt Saint Helens.

  5. Our Volcanoes! Mt. Rainier

  6. Glacier Peak! Mt. Baker Mt. Adams

  7. Mt. Saint Helens

  8. Mt. Hood is also Active!

  9. Types of Volcanoes • You can describe the three major types of volcanoes (there are more) • Shield • Cinder Cone • Composite or Strato Cone

  10. Shield Volcano

  11. Cinder Cone Volcano

  12. Composite Cone

  13. Types of Lava

  14. Parts of a Volcano/Vocabulary

  15. Eruptions

  16. In Conclusion • You will have time to research volcanoes and especially Mt. Rainier and Mt. Saint Helens. • Then you will compose your letter to the Governor.
