[[image]] Volcano Image #1: Fogo Island, Cape Verde (image #S28-97-055) NOTE: The four images of volcanoes make a nice sequence, each providing different insights on volcanoes. Many other volcano images are available. Volcanoes also are good targets for your students' future KidSat missions. Background for the teacher: This is Fogo Island, Cape Verde. The image is a good starting point for this series of volcanoes. It shows a single volcano, so strikingly present as an island in the ocean. Don't tell your students that it is a volcano. Let them explore the image and figure it out for themselves. Possible starting points for investigations: •Is this island flat or does it have mountains? Draw the island in cross-section. •What is the darker area in the middle of the island? •Why do clouds from in a circle around the center of the island? •How big is this island? 11/05/96 Page 8.25
