Study Notes
- These study notes pertain to questions about the movie "Dante's Peak" involving volcanic eruptions.
- Credible research from the internet must be used to answer the questions and answers should be paraphrased.
- When using information from the internet, cite it using Chicago Style footnotes and include a "Works Cited" page in Chicago Style format.
- The assignment must be submitted to Turnitin.com before submission to the classroom, the goal is to keep Similarity Report below 50%
- The Turnitin.com class code is CGC1W1-05, class ID is 48122383, Enrolment Key is BA9Geo05 and the assignment name is “Dante's Peak”.
- The student should pay attention to the artistic license taken to dramatize volcanic eruptions.
- Answers may be found on the USGS website.
- The following questions are to be answered:
Eruption Specifics
- Is it possible to specifically predict the time, place, and character of an eruption?
Lava Travel
- Is driving through lava possible for scientists?
"Dante's Peak" Realism
- How realistic is the eruption depicted in "Dante's Peak"?
Eruptions and Aircraft
- Can eruptions threaten helicopters and other aircraft?
Earthquakes and Eruptions
- Do earthquakes large enough to collapse buildings and roads accompany volcanic eruptions?
Volcanic Gases
- Can carbon dioxide gas from volcanoes kill trees and wildlife?
Volcanic Lakes
- Can lakes near volcanoes become acidic enough to be dangerous?
Pre-Eruption Activity
- What unusual activity might be noticed before an eruption?
