VOLCANOES AND VOLCANIC ACTIVITY Identifying Volcanic Landforms Volcanoes are important features of Earth’s surface geology. For this exercise, you will visit a number of localities around the world where volcanic landforms can be observed. Your task will be to identify the different volcanic land forms in the table below (the following page is a helpful resource: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/volc/types.html ). Fig. 1. Google Earth image of SP Crater, northern Arizona, USA. Enter the geographic coordinates for each feature below in the query bar of Google Earth (you can also use Google Maps which some students find easier to use). Next, zoom in or out to identify the volcanic feature(s) in the image. If you can, try to identity the country and name of the volcano. Video Instructions:ES117LAB03 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS: What type of volcanic rocks would you expect to be erupted from ‘B’ above? Of what type volcanic rock do you think the feature in ‘H’ is composed? Find a composite volcano (stratovolcano) that is not featured above; include an image (screen capture from Google Earth) with a brief description in your report. Find a shield volcano that is not featured above; include an image (screen capture from Google Earth) with a brief description in your report. Complete a report for this week's lab. Your lab report should be 2-3 pages in length and MUST contain the following: 1. Lab Title 2. Introductory paragraph(s) stating the purpose of the lab and covering all concepts, ideas, and definitions covered in the lab. 3. Overview of the lab procedures and data collection. 4. Presentation of data collected (tables, images, graphs, etc...) 5. Answer to all questions posed in the lab (if any). 6. Concluding paragraph(s) in which you discuss the results of the lab and what you've learned from the experience. Submit your completed lab report to the dropbox by day 4.
