4. Volcanoes and Magmatism
Wednesday March 7 @ 4.30pm AEDT. Register here, it's FREE.
Not all volcanoes are the same, and a number of factors contribute to the size, shape, and eruption style of different volcanoes. Different tectonic settings influence magma sources, physical properties of magma, and geochemistry of magmas. Here we will explore where magma is generated, how it moves through the crust, how it changes over time, and what happens if it does or doesn’t erupt. We also take a look at some ancient and more recent examples of magmatism and volcanism in eastern Australia and how it has affected our local landscapes.
The content covers the new Version 9.0 Australian Curriculum (Earth and Space Sciences), namely, AC9S8U03, AC9S8H01, AC9S8I01 (Year 8).
This webinar will take no more than 45-60 minutes of your time. Extra time for Q&A can follow as required.
All attendees will receive a certificate of attendance from the Australian Science Teachers Association (ASTA) and access to the slide pack and a recording of the episode (with embedded videos).
