All About Mount St. Helens

There are three positions that need to be filled in order to begin on your journey. Only one person can be assigned for each of these positions.

• Photographer

• Researcher 

• Volcanologist

So if your ready lets begin! First, the photographer will be taking pictures of the volcano and all of its surrounding features to be used in your presentation. Second, the researcher will be gathering information on the volcanos activity. Finally, the volcanologist will try and understand how and why vocanoes erput, how to predict the eruptions, and also what impact volcanoes have on the Earth. You can work together on this project if a member of your group is having trouble finding information. This is a group effort!
