Volcano Research Project

Your mission is to find information and report on a volcano that has erupted in the last 100 years. Your reports must include:

1. Type of volcano
2. Geographic location
3. Name, distance, and population of nearest major city
4. Date of most recent eruption and date of most destructive eruption
5. Other events associated with the last eruption (earthquakes, floods, mudslides, etc)

Then, attach a one page description on the major hazards to humans in the vicinity of this volcano. Speculate on what you would do if you were in charge of minimizing the risk to the population.

6. Create a model of this volcano.  You can make it out of any materials (clay, paper mache, Styrofoam, Rice Krispies, etc).  Lava eruptions are optional  (vinegar and baking soda is one option, while mentos and diet coke is another).  The base should be no larger than 2x2 feet.
