Volcanoes, Tsunamis, Earth and a Science Test


We resumed our study of geology and natural disasters today. We will finish up with volcanoes tommorow. Later this week we will get into earthquakes as well. It looks like our next big science test will be next week.


Some things students must know (so those who haven't done as well can start studying now)

Crust - Top and thinnest

Mantle

Outer Core

Inner Core


Causes of Tsunamis:


Earthquakes

Volcanoes

Meteors


Parts of a Volcano:

Start studying that basic info, then I will post more as the test gets closer. The test will cover, the Earth, Volcanoes, Tsunamis, and Earthquakes
