NASA's Earth Observatory offers photos showing locations of volcanic activity and earthquakes. Click on thumbnails to view large images and read about the causes and effects of these natural hazards.

As an online exhibit from the Natural History Museum, this site provides three videos on natural processes of Earth. The videos cover tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes.

The U.S. Geological Survey sponsors this site about the history of earthquakes in the United States as well as information about how earthquakes are detected and measured.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart introduces students to the formation of mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

Yellowstone Volcano Observatory is an instrument-based monitoring program designed for observing volcanic and earthquake activity in the Yellowstone National Park region. This website provides information about its geology, history,...

The Ring of Fire is a region of volcanic and earthquake activity that surrounds the Pacific Ocean. In this project you can explore the connection between plate tectonics and volcanic activity by mapping historical data.

In this lesson, learners simulate volcanic explosions using liquids of varying viscosity, and learn about volcano and earthquake zones around the world.

Since 2001 the USGS has been monitoring the earth's surface in Yellowstone to understand the activity of volcanoes and earthquakes. This resource recognizes the Dotsero Volcanic Center.

This webpage offers an excellent collection of teaching resources about earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and much more. An extensive and extremely well-organized list of "frequently asked questions" regarding the topic, and live...

This interactive activity produced for Teachers' Domain shows the relationship between tectonic boundaries and the locations of earthquake events and volcanoes around the world.

In this interactive, students manipulate a computer model that shows where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have occurred since 1960, to make predictions, collect data and look for patterns. Includes career connection, and a question...

In this series of lessons, students use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) together with the tools and data from the North America Global GIS CD to investigate earthquakes, volcanoes, and population from a local to global scale....

Four part lab activity involves learners using real-time data to solve a problem, study the correlation between earthquakes and tectonic plates, and determine whether or not there is a relationship between volcanoes and plate boundaries.

In this project, students use Real-time and volcano data from the Internet to explore the relationship between earthquakes, plate tectonics, and volcanos.

This activity has students access USGS earthquake information to plot the their locations on a world map. Doing this will help students discover for themselves the boundaries of tectonic plates.

Explanation of the factors that result in the formation of volcanoes, some basic but helpful animations and photographs.

Features data collection for natural disasters and maps the trends giving us an idea of where disasters have a tendency to strike.

Students will be using live data about volcanoes and earthquakes to look for patterns and understand why natural disasters may or may not be able to be predicted. Resources include helpful websites, a video of the lesson in action,...

Seven hands-on lessons module where students learn about our dynamic planet. These inquiry-based explorations investigate scientific models, earthquakes and seismic waves, Earth's interior, Earth movements, the lithosphere, plate...

An earth science collection where students can explore earthquakes, volcanoes, and more natural phenomena. The collection uses videos and interactive activities to investigate our dynamic planet and earth systems.

Visit an active volcano site to find out the connection between the movement of the Earth's plates and the processes deep within the Earth's interior. [58:23]

Instructional module focusing on plate tectonics. Discussion includes plates, plate boundaries, and driving forces. Site also includes an interactive practice quiz and links relating to the topic.

A site answering questions such as volcano type, how scientist predict eruptions, and how scientist know hot spots exist in Yellowstone National Park.

Review these questions about Earthquakes on this site.
