Rocks with Mr. Robinson got postponed until next week as he was feeling under the weather. We carried on with Volcanoes, reviewing the questions we ended our last volcano class with. We watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQwZwKS9RPs and discussed the following terms: lithostatic pressure, magmastatic pressure, pyroclastic flow, hydrothermal alteration, volcanologist. We plotted some volcanoes on a map and took some notes on hotspot or intraplate volcanism. We also watched this video on the creation of intraplate volcanoes and are working on a sheet to explain the terminology that goes with this (we will finish next class). https://www.iris.edu/hq/inclass/animation/hotspot_volcanism_thermal_plume.
