Volcanoes and Mathematics
• Volumes of Solids
• Conceptual Integration
• Slice up a volcano and add up the slices to approximate volume
• Use Excel to do the “dirty” work
Volcanoes and Mathematics
• Linear Modeling of Magma flowing from an effusive eruption – magma rises to the surface and flows out of the volcano as a viscous liquid called lava.
• y=mx+b
Near Hilo, Hawaii
Volcanoes and Chemistry/Environmental Science
• Carbon Dioxide CO2
• Contributes to greenhouse effect and global warming
• Sulfur Dioxide SO2
• Contributes to acid rain
• When converted to sulfuric acid, it reflects solar energy and has a cooling effect
Mount Pinatubo Philippines, 1991
