What you need to know about Supervolcanoes A supervolcanic eruption would have global consequences 1/ The characteristics of a possible supervolcano eruption and its effects A supervolcanic eruption would have global consequences 1/ The characteristics of a possible supervolcano eruption and its effects BUT …. This video also covered 2/ Monitoring and predicting (‘normal’) volcanic eruptions BUT …. This video also covered 2/ Monitoring and predicting (‘normal’) volcanic eruptions

Learning Objectives 1.To describe the causes, short term effects, long term effects and responses to the eruption (Grade C) 2.To see how the short term effects can link to longer term effects (Grade B) 3.To evaluate the responses to the eruption as a consequence of the effects (Grade A) The key thing about these effects is that they are GLOBAL. When we study a ‘normal’ eruption we will follow a similar path of cause, effects, response” but it will all be more localised

Exam questions 2011 papers “Describe the likely worldwide effects of a supervolcanic eruption – 6 marks” And “Describe the size and shape of a Supervolcano – 2 marks” THERE HAS BEEN NO MONITORING AND PREDICTING VOLCANOES QUESTIONS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS
