Volcanoes are openings in the Earths surface. When they are active they can let ash, gas and hot magma escape in sometimes violent and spectacular eruptions
Thursday 18th June 202 LO: To report on the effects of a volcanic eruption. Look at the table on the next slide which mentions the effects of a volcanic eruption. Task: This task is linked to our English lesson. I would like you to create a non-chronological report about volcanic eruptions. Please see the English Thursday lesson for details.
Wednesday 17th June 2020 Lo: To locate a range of famous volcanoes and find out some key facts including when the volcanoes last erupted. Look at the video about famous volcanoes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiIexCoMiuU Task: Create a PowerPoint about famous volcanoes. Tell me where they are, what type of a volcano it is and when it was the last time it erupted. I would like to see some pictures too. Have fun with this task!
Effect of Volcanoes on people and the environment Volcanoes can have a very serious effect on the lands and people around them when they erupt. Buildings are destroyed and people are made homeless. People are killed. Clouds of ash cover plants making them inedible. Poisonous gases kill people and animals. Dust causes pneumonia and illnesses to the survivors. Dark skies, severe winds and heavy rains may follow an eruption for months afterwards. One in 10 people in the world live within 'danger range' of an active volcano. People can get used to living near a volcano, but it is always a little dangerous. Scientists have estimated that at least 200,000 persons have lost their lives as a result of volcanic eruptions during the last 500 years. People set up homes on the slopes of volcanoes because of the rich, fertile soil produced.
Friday 19th June 2020 LO: To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of living near a volcano. Task: Look at the slides showing the consequences of living near a volcano. Write a story set in a town near a volcano. Think: -how will your story begin? -who are your characters are going to be? -what will be the most exciting part of the story? -what problem will your characters face? -how will your story finish?
As well as the danger from the hot lava, an erupting volcano can trigger are life threatening things. tsunamis flash floods earthquakes mud flows rock falls.
