Virtual Volcano Lab Name_______________ Log onto the Discovery Channel’s Virtual Volcano site http://news.discovery.com/games/volcanoxplorer.htm?_ga=1.187287976.1401954587.1396370808 Global Perspectives (see the Menu on the left side) --Using the topic menu in the lower right corner, read about: 1) Tectonic Plates: Where are most of the active volcanoes found? ________________ 2) the Ring of Fire: Where is the Ring of Fire located? _________________________ 3) the Layers Within: How do volcanoes form? _______________________________ _________________________________________________________________ Volcano Types (yup…back to the Menu on the left side) For each of the volcano types answer the following questions… 1) Stratovolcano: a. How are they made? ____________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ b. Look like--___________________________________________________ c. This volcano in Italy was responsible for destroying Pompeii in 19 AD--_______ d. A well-known stratovolcano in the US—_______________________________ 2) Cinder Cone Volcano: a. How are they made?____________________________________________ b. Look like—____________________________________________________ c. 2 famous cinder cone volcanoes & where they are located: i. _______________________________________________________ ii. _______________________________________________________ 3) Shield Volcano: a. How are they made?_____________________________________________ b. Look like—____________________________________________________ c. A famous shield volcano & where it’s located: __________________________ 4) Which type of volcano is the following? a. Most violent eruptions: ___________ b. Island builders: _____________ c. Smallest: ___________________ Inside a Volcano (Left side. Menu…)In the space below draw what a volcano looks like on the inside and label its parts. Build Your Own Volcano…(Of course, don’t forget to watch it erupt—way cool!) --But first… 1) Gas Content a. List 2 factors that can affect the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption. i. ________________________ ii. __________________________ b. Magma’s gas content usually depends on ____________________________ __________________________________________________________ 2) Viscosity a. What is it? __________________________________________________ b. Thick magmas tend to have ______________________ levels, and runny lavas have _____________levels. 3) After playing with the settings on your own a bit, build the volcanoes with the settings below and record the results you create! (don’t forget to click “set conditions” before erupting). #8-10 are YOUR CHOICE…make a new combo. Gas Type of Viscosity Content Volcano type Eruption Other comments 1. Low Low 2. High Low 3.
