The year is 2020, and a large Indonesian volcano has erupted. It is the worst eruption in recorded history. To make matters worse, Mt. Pinatubo, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. Vesuvius are erupting, all violently.
You are a volcanologist assigned as an aide to the president of the United States. Your assignment is to give the president a report on what can be expected to happen and what steps can be taken to help people cope with the disaster.
Use the Internet or other research materials to locate the volcanoes mentioned and learn some background material about each one. Answer questions such as “What kind of volcanic eruption are we dealing with in each case?” and “How fast is the lava or ash flowing?”
Make a logbook of your findings and recommendations. Who is in danger? What are your recommendations to save people and towns? How will each eruption affect the environment? How long will the effects last?
Post your report for the president on this blog.
