Once you are done taking notes from each and every website above, using the Cornell Note-taking method, return to the Earth Movement Webpage and answer the questions in the Activities section. Please write the answers in your science notebook.

For those who get done with all of the above it is NOT okay to just sit and chat. There is a bonus question and you have to do it. Using the following Mt. Rainier websites answer the following: What will happen if Mt. Rainier erupts? In your answer include the following: 1) the hazards that Mt. Rainier poses, 2) how far the hazards will reach, 3) are we in danger here in the Chimacum area, 4) what towns are in danger, and finally 5) what can people in those towns do if Mt. Rainier does erupt (are there warnings in place?). Include labeled diagrams in your response.
