Volcanoes
Volcanoes form the surrounding Oregon landscape. Volcanoes make up the highest peaks in Oregon (Mt Hood, Mt Jefferson, and the Three Sisters) along with small backyard hills like Mt. Tabor and Rocky Butte. In this unit, will develop an understanding of volcanoes on why they erupt violently or passively, signs they give off before an eruption, hazards produced during and after an eruption, and the types of igneous rocks formed from them.
