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.
