Have a look at this clip from our GNS site and write the key points into your science book. Include the name of the geologist who is talking and make a fact list. You should be able to write at least 5 good facts.

After you have watched this, have a look at this documentary about Mt St Helens in the US...it will help you to understand the benefits (yes, that's right) of volcanoes when we view the later video.
Click here for Mt St Helens

Now view the following Youtube clip that shows Mt St Helens 30 years later.
Your task is to note the changes and explain some of the benefits of a volcano.
 Click here for Mt St Helens 30 years later
The documentary is quite long. You need to skip and skim. You are looking for key changes in the environment and how volcanoes may benefit the landscape when they erupt.

Books must be handed in by Wed 16th April.
