Volcanoes!

A Virtual Field
Trip with Q & A
CHAPTER 15.2
Today, we are going on a field trip
around the world to visit
VOLCANOES!
Your job:

As we visit each volcano, I will provide the name and location of the
volcano – you will find the name and location on your worksheet. The
presentation will also include a location of each volcano and, where
possible, a video of a similar volcano will be included.
 Observe each volcano for clues about what type of volcano:
 Shield
 Composite
 Cinder Cone
 Check off the clues that helped you identify each type of volcano
 We will check to see how you did at the end
