When you watched your volcano erupt, what did you notice about the “pyroclastic” flow? Describe it’s movement.
Very Much Slow and nothing could stop its movement, bubbly and fizzy.
When you watched the videos of the Hawaiian Eruption from Mount Kilauea, what did you notice about the way it interacted with the landscape?
Just moved slowly across the land. Burned everything and a lot of things got engulfed in the lava.
Why is the volcanic activity important for places like Hawaii?
It is responsible for the islands themselves. Because of hotspots, lava flowing up from holes in the tectonic plates. The lava flows up to make volcanos and over time it layers and layers to make islands while the plates are moving.
How did people respond to the volcanic activity?
A lot just moved, a lot also stayed to watch it for some reason. There was nothing they could really do too. Many evacuations and people stayed to watch, take pictures etc.
Compare what you saw in the video to life here in Vancouver. What if the Coquitlam Mountain erupted, how would you respond?
My family I know for a fact would want to instantly move away, even if it doesn’t touch us. Because of all the possible ash and smoke, they would probably just drive away.
