Return to the Volcano and Earthquake WebQuest
Use the links below, or those of your choosing, to research current techniques being used to at least monitor volcanic or seismic activity. You must, at a minimum, tell: 1) what is involved with the current technique, 2) if it has advanced warning capability, 3) who is using the technique, and 4) what locations are being monitored. You will receive up to 20 points for your individual effort. The more you make this your own, rather than copy answers directly from the websites, the more points you will receive.
