REVIEW:
Geography and earth science teachers will find lots of information and resources at this site to engage their students in problem based learning. The site is divided into four major sections; current activity, photo gallery, volcano history and frequently asked questions. The current activity section includes monthly activity updates, news about the volcanic system including a fact sheet and monitoring data, both real-time and non real-time. The real-time data includes earthquakes, deformation (GPS) and hydrolic. An interesting part of the non real-time data is the discussion of the volcano monitoring techniques. The history section offers information, photos and tables that give an overview of the region's volcanic and seismic history. The photo gallery provides an interactive imagemap of Yellowstone National Park. Just click on a location and view a photo of the site along with a brief description. Locations are also listed below the map as hyperlinks for quick easy access. The frequently asked section provides answers to questions about supervolcanoes, volcano history, recent activity, future activity, and science. |
