Super Volcano-Yellowstone National Park

In class today, we watched the video How the Earth Was Made:Yellowstone  While watching the video, the students need to complete the worksheet that goes along with it.  This video is very informative and ties in a lot of what we have discussed the past two weeks along with the somewhat difficult idea of a hot spot.  A hot spot is a place in the crust in which a mantle plume rises and creates volcanic actions.  If in the ocean, it creates volcanic islands.  If on land, it creates volcanoes as well as geysers and such like what we see at Yellowstone.  Have a great three day weekend and see you all on Tuesday!
