Impact on the Environment
After a volcano erupts, the surrounding landscape looks like a barren wasteland- covered in solid, igneous rock and ash. But, has anyone ever stopped to think about what happens to those places as time goes on? Is there hope for life after a volcanic eruption? Check out the links below to find out! :
Step 1- Exploration
Step 2- Volcanic Time-lapse Drawing
Activity: Time-lapse picture
For this activity, your group will draw a picture of what a landscape would look like before, during, after, and (way) after a volcanic eruption (required). Your picture should be broken down into parts, showing the progression from before the eruption to what it would look like years and year later.

- If you are having trouble picturing it, imagine your piece of paper as 1 whole. Then break your paper up into 5 (at least 4, not more than 7) sections: before, during, immediately after, 15 years later, 30 years later (add or omit sections depending on how many you choose). In each section, draw what the landscape would look like at that moment.
