Warm-ups
5/18 - What are the 3 main types of volcanoes? Name 3 characteristics for each. (DE pg. 229)
5/19 - Describe how the following are formed and examples in Oregon: Lava plateau and caldera. (DE pg. 230)
5/22 - What kind of volcanoes form: 1) above a Hot spot, 2) at convergent plate boundaries and 3) at divergent plate boundaries. (DE pgs. 231-234)
5/23 - After watching the video clip of Nyiragongo lava sampling:
1. What type of volcano is this?
2. How would you describe the viscosity of its lava?
3. How much are you willing to sacrifice in the pursuit of knowledge?
5/24 - 1) What type of volcano usually forms at a hotspot? 2) What are two examples of hotspot volcanos?
5/25 - Make a Venn diagram comparing Rocks and Minerals.
5/30 - Color the processes and rock types on the rock cycle diagram different colors (at least 5 colors needed). Paste the diagram into your notebook.
