What is Earth telling us?

In relation to the unit we are developing now: Earth sciences: external geological activity, we are going to explore what is happening with volcano activity nowadays.
In this activity, you have to take a look at the example map generated with Umapper:


* What do you think about the activity of some of the most important volcanoes?
  **  Which tectonic plate are they related to?
  ***  Do they suppose a great risk and geological hazard for the surrounding population or not?
     ****  What is the type of explosions they have?
       *****  Are there any other volcanoes in the surrounding area?
       ******  Is the "Ring of fire" in relation to any of them?
       ******* Could the explosion of any of this volcanoes affect you or your family? why?
                           *******    etc etc.

You have to think about that questions in the class-groups and add and share three important volcanoes from all over the world to the map (title, description and an image are compulsory; any other information is voluntary).

Then, you have to choose in concert one active volcanoes present in the map and make a poster with Venngage with the most relevant information about that volcano (location, images, news' extracts from media, description of the historical record of activity, classification as geological hazard, etc.). This poster will be exposed at the high school walls and someone from the group will have to present it to the rest of the class.

And remember that if you have any doubts, please do not doubt to ask the rest of your group or the teacher about it.

Enjoy it and lava volcanoes!
