What makes a volcano?
I have asked you to draw 2 versions of a model of Mt. St. Helens at this point. Now, you can put it all together in a final master model!

For this model, draw a detailed diagram to describe what formed Mt. St. Helens and what caused it to erupt. I will be looking at how well you understood lessons 2.2 - 2.4, so use your notes (pages 3-8 of your digital notebook)! Try to represent each concept visually in your model.

Your model should:
  • Use 1 or more detailed drawings to represent your volcano.
  • Include labels, colors and arrows to describe the forces taking place.
  • Represent the geologic processes happening below ground to form the volcano & trigger the eruption.
  • Represent the geologic processes that happen above ground when the eruption took place.
  • Be created by you - it cannot be an image copied from the internet or another source.
  • I'm not grading your artistic skill, but it does need to be clear and read-able.

Draw your model here. (Use the digital tools or draw on paper and upload a clear photograph.)

Now, describe your model below in a detailed paragraph. (Or, optional: instead, record an audio description of your model under #3 below).

Your paragraph:
  • Should not be copied from another source - it must be your ideas and your words.
  • It can be written below or recorded with audio under #3
  • It should be edited for clarity
  • It should describe what your model is trying to show
  • It should include evidence learned from lessons:
  • 2.2 (earth layers - pages 3 & 4 of your digital notebook)
  • 2.3 (plate tectonics - pages 5 & 6)
  • 2.4 (plate boundares - page 7 & anatomy of a volcano - page 8)

Review your description. Check all the terms you included in your explanation. Feel free to go back and add more. (It is not required that you include all of these, but it is important that you use specific scientific language. These terms might help you!)

(Ungraded) We're moving on to...earthquakes! Please share:
1) Which do you think is a greater risk to us, earthquakes or volcanoes. Why?
2) What is one thing you think we should do to be prepared for earthquakes?
