After completing this assignment, you should be able to: 1. Describe the kinds of data or observations that help estimate recurrence intervals and ejecta volumes of past very large volcanic eruptions. 2. Justify the need for further research regarding very large volcanic eruptions by referring to difficulties associated with obtaining the kinds of data or observations described in the previous goal. 3. Examine and interpret data in a citation, without worrying about details of the entire cited article. 4. Obtain various details about any volcano on Earth, from a database of Earth’s volcanoes. 5. Characterize the relationships between claims made in this article, reasons that authors make these claims and evidence cited by authors supporting these reasons. 6. Characterize a scientific reading in terms of the type of article, the author’s intent and the type and reliability of his/her sources. Instructions 1. FIRST, skim all the questions in this Worksheet (see next page) to find out what to expect, THEN read the article and lastly, write your answers to the Worksheet questions. 2. Once you have answered all the Worksheet questions, write the Homework Quiz. All the questions in this Quiz will be taken from the questions in this Worksheet! a. There is a time limit to complete the Homework Quiz, so you MUST do the reading and complete the Worksheet BEFORE starting the Quiz; b. The questions on the Quiz are automatically graded versions of SELECTED Worksheet questions, which will include fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, ordering/ranking, and True/False question types; c.

After the Homework period closes, feedback will be provided to all students. Treat this as part of your study guide because the concepts learned here are very relevant to the Learning Goals for each module. 4. Note that multiple choice options for Quiz questions are always presented in random order. Do not assume that the question options will be in the same order on the Worksheet as on the Homework Quiz. So read the options carefully before choosing the best answer! [Show More]
