VOLCANISM IN PERU

Introduction

Welcome to a new way to learn about volcanoes! The following webquest will take you through a study of volcanoes and to Peru to look at the specific volcanoes there!

The Task

After experiencing this webquest you should be able to answer questions about volcano cones, features, zones, fragments, eruptions, and predicting eruptions. The webquest involves three challenges. Each challenge will involve different activities. The last challenge pulls everything together by concentrating on questions about the Peruvian volcanoes.

The Process

You will complete three challenges which involve different activities. The final challenge ties all the activities together.

CHALLENGE 1	CHALLENGE 2	CHALLENGE 3

Evaluation

You will be evaluated on the Anticipation/Reaction Guide, the explanations along with it, and the Peruvian Volcano Questions. These assignments should be turned in on time. Late assignments result in one letter grade lower for each day late.
