LAVA LAYERING
Lava Layering teaches about the shape of shield volcanos,
the principle of superposition, and how a geologist can reconstruct the history of volcanic eruptions.
This exercise was developed originally by the
Hawaii Spacegrant which has other great volcanology exercises. The version we used is from the
Destination: Mars
exercises from the Johnson Space Center
Astromaterials Education Group, which also has lots of other good stuff.
Sadly, I could not find any photos of our group doing Lava Layering -- I must have lost them all. SO --
here are a few demo photos from our workshop two years ago, out of Seattle, which focused on volcanos
of the Cascade Mountains.
