Question 1
2 pts
Matching – select the best match between the location and the volcanic feature (or the
basalt flow source).
NOTE: There are a big pool of these questions, and so the instructions here apply for
all of the potential questions.
You are given geographic coordinates scattered around the Island of Hawai’i.
Use Fast Travel in the geovisualization to go to that location.
If the location is a volcanic feature that is not a lava flow
(e.g.
caldera
made by
collapse of a volcano into an emptied magma chamber,
crater
made by the force of a
volcanic eruption (can also be made by collapse when there's no lava or cinder
surrounding it),
cinder cone
made by lava reaching the surface in the form of pieces
called cinder and dropping back down in the shape of a cone), then the correct match
will be the correct name of the feature and an estimate of the height (e.g. of the cinder
cone) or the depth (e.g. of the caldera) using the elevation data you see in the
geovisualization.
If the location is a basalt lava flow
, then the best match will be the volcano
that is the source of the lava flow. Just follow the lava flow uphill and when you can’t
see it any more – that’s the source. It will be one of the five big shield volcanoes.
Group of answer choices
19.4067, -155.2841
Caldera, about 50-150 m deep
19.8141, -155.4724
Cinder Cone, about 100 m tall
19.8481, -155.9460
Hualalai volcano as the source of this lava flow
19.8653, -155.3844
Mauna Kea as the source of this lava flow
In the game, pull the camera angle back and hop around the surfaces of the different
volcanoes. Rank them from highest amount of dark (recent) lava flows to lowest
amount.
Mauna Loa, Hualalai, Mauna Kea, Kohala
