Volcanoes form at plate boundaries and hot spots where magma rises from below the Earth's crust. There are three main types of volcanoes - shield volcanoes which are wide and gently sloping due to low viscosity basaltic lava flows, cinder cone volcanoes which are steep-sided due to explosive eruptions of thicker granitic lava, and composite volcanoes which have characteristics of both types. Factors like the amount of trapped gases and magma viscosity determine eruption styles from quiet effusions to violent explosions. Major volcanic hazards include lava flows, ash falls, pyroclastic flows, landslides, and tsunamis. Scientists monitor volcanoes for warning signs of impending eruptions.
The difference between the two is that a Volcano emits smoke, hot rocks, and liquid magma called lava from the crater. Whereas, the mountain does not release any of the above. Volcano has crater while a mountain has no crater. A mountain results from different geological processes like movement and opposition of tectonic plates. On the other hand, a volcano forms around a vent when magma flows out and reaches the surface of the planet.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

HOLY SMOKES-IT’S A
VOLCANO!
• http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/kids/forces-of-nature-kids/volcanoes-101-kids/
2. What is a volcano?
• Volcano: an opening in
Earth’s crust through
which molten rock,
rock fragments, and
hot gases erupt.
– Magma vs. lava:
remember the
difference?
4. Where do volcanoes occur?
Most form along plate boundaries ….
1. in subduction zones (one plate sinks
under another)
2. over hot spots
3. where plates are pulling apart
6. What determines how explosive an eruption
is?
1. Water Vapor: more water=bigger explosion
2. Trapped gases (water and CO2):
– Easy escape (low pressure)=quiet eruption
– Difficult to escape (high pressure)=explosive/violen
eruption
3. Magma Type:
– Balastic (thin) =quiet eruption
– Granitic/Andestic (thick)=violent eruption
**NOTE: A Pyroclastic flow is a fast moving mixture of
water, gases and ash that can be deadly
7. Magma Composition
Basaltic
• Volcanoes with basaltic
lava produce:
underwater pillow
lava formations
rock structures shaped
like tubes, balloons, or
pillows.
As pahoehoe (pa-HOY-hoy)
lava cools, it forms a
ropelike structure.
•If the same lava flows at a
lower temperature, a stiff,
slowly moving aa (AH-ah) lava
forms.
9. Magma Composition
Granitic Lava
• Some examples of granitic
volcanoes are
– Yellowstone Caldera
• It is a super voclano!
– Katmai, Alaska
• Last eruted in 1912.
“If it had erupted in a populated
area…"The magnitude of the
eruption can perhaps be best
realized if one could imagine a
similar outburst centered in New
York City. All of Greater New York
would be buried under from ten to
fifteen feet of ash; Philadelphia
would be covered by a foot of gray
ash and would be in total darkness
for sixty hours; Washington and
Buffalo would receive a quarter of
an inch of ash, with a shorter period
of darkness. The sound of the
explosion would be heard in Atlanta
and St. Louis, and the fumes noticed
as far away as Denver, San Antonio,
and Jamaica."
10. Magma Composition
Andesitic Lava
Mount Pelee, Martinique
– Famous for the May 8, 1902 eruption
which killed 29,000 people and
destroyed the city of St. Pierre. This
is the largest number of causalities
for a volcanic eruption this century.
• Mayon, Phillipines
– It is the most active volcano in the
Philippines. Since 1616, Mayon has
erupted 47 times.
– It’s 1814 eruption killed 1,600.
11.
12. 3 Basic Volcano shapes
The shape and size are determined
by the type of magma feeding it.
Pg. 90-91
13. 1. Shield Volcano
• Formed by quiet eruptions
• Slow-moving lava flows
• Basaltic lava builds up in flat layers
• Largest with gently sloping sides
• Ex: Mauna Kea-Hawaiian Islands
14. Example of Shield Volcano
• Mauna Loa
• Mt. Kilauea
– Probably one of the
world’s most active
volcanoes.
– The eruption of Kilauea
Volcano that began in
1983 continues at the
cinder-and-spatter cone
of Pu`u `O`o
Mt. Kilauea

15. 2. Cinder Cone Volcano
• Caused by explosive
eruptions
• Granitic lava thrown
high into the air
• Lava cools into
different sizes of
volcanic material
called tephra
• Steep-sided, loose
slopes
18. Paracútin
• On February 20, 1943, a Mexican
farmer noticed that a hole in his
cornfield that had been there for as
long as he could remember was
giving off smoke.
• Throughout the night, hot glowing
cinders were thrown high into the
air.
• In just a few days, a cinder cone
several hundred meters high
covered his cornfield.
19. 3. Composite Volcano
• A mix of the other two types
• Quiet or violent
• Basaltic or granitic
• Steep or gentle slopes
• Layered of tephra
20.
21. Example of
Composite Volcano
• Mount St. Helen’s
– Erupted in 1980
– 57 fatalities
– Over 7000 big game animals
perished
– 4 billion board feet of timber (enough
to build about 300,000 two-bedroom
homes) destroyed
– Destroyed 27 bridges, nearly 200
homes. Blast and lahars destroyed
more than 185 miles of highways
and roads and 15 miles of railways.
22. Example of
Composite Volcano
• Mount Pinatubo
– Erupted in 1991
– Killed 847 people
– 184 people injured
– 10, 000 home destroyed and
another 5,000 were damaged.
– The ash cloud took one year to
spread around the globe,
reducing global temperatures.
This resulted in
• Floods in 1993 along the
Mississippi River
• Drought in Africa in 1993
• The US had its 3rd wettest &
coldest winter on record.
23. Example of
Composite Volcano
• Krakatau
– One of the most
violent eruptions in
recent times
occurred on an
island in the Sunda
Straits near
Indonesia in August
of 1883.
– Krakatau, a volcano
on the island,
erupted with such
24. Example of Composite Volcano
Krakatau
• Killed 36,000 people most
were killed by a giant
tsunami
• Destroyed 160 villages
• Fine ashes from the eruption
were carried by upper level
winds as far away as New
York City
• Volcanic dust lowered global
temperatures for five years,
this caused
25. Scientists monitor volcanoes.
• Scientists monitor volcanoes to look for
warning signs that an eruption may be
coming. Warning signs include:
– Earthquakes
– Changes in the tilt of the ground
– Rising temperatures of openings
– Changes in volcanic gases being tested.
26. Both shield and composite volcanoes can form features called calderas, a huge
crater formed by the collapse of the volcano when magma rapidly erupts from
underneath it.
28. Materials From Volcanic Eruptions Affect Earth
Land Air Water
Lava Poisonous Gases* Hot Springs
Volcanic Ash* Adds to Acid Rain Geysers
Landslides (can
cause tsunamis)
Haze Fumaroles
Mudflows Lower
Temperature
Deep –Sea Vents
*These can get in the jet stream and affect the weather around the
world for months or years
**There can be benefits: richer farmland and beautiful landscapes
