Week of Oct. 22

Our Our Earth is covered by volcanoes. Volcanoes are breaks in the Earth's cool surface where hot liquid rock from the interior comes out.  Pictured above are 4 volcanoes that are part of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.  Every day over 20 volcanoes are erupting on our amazing planet!

Question of the Week

Sometimes both heaven and Earth erupt!  Pictured above is White Dome Geyser in Yellowstone National park.  Of course you are also looking at red and green auroras above it.  So, what would a geyser have to do with our study of geologic forces that change the surface of the Earth?

  1. A geyser relates to our study of geologic forces because a geyser is similar to a volcano. A geyser occurs because of water found underground, which is heated to high temperatures due to magma chambers underneath it.

  2. The geyser would help the study of geologic forces because it can describe when lava comes near the surface of the earth and collides with water, making the geyser "erupt".
