*Vulcanism*
Procedure/Steps: Use this link to access vulcanism, an interactive site. Answer the questions below in your notebook. Analysis & Conclusion: Skip lines between questions. What is a volcano? Volcanoes occur all over the world; however, they occur more often in some locations. Where are volcanoes more likely to occur and what is the explanation for these patterns? Compare the volcanoes on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi and Mount Rainier. For each one, identify its type, how it was formed, and its location in terms of plate boundaries. Are there any volcanoes in your state? If so, are they active, dormant, or extinct? What volcano erupted most recently in the U.S.? The name of any rock is determined by what it is made of and how it is formed. Igneous rocks always start as magma. What is the difference between the two major types of igneous rocks? Give the name of the two major types and explain how each is formed into a solid rock. Assignment: Write an answer to the guiding questions in your notebook. Use the terms volcano, magma, lava, ring of fire, hotspot. Highlight these terms
