ACTIVITY: CONNECT THE DOTS
Directions: Read each situation below and locate the places where each situation
occurred by drawing a dot on the world map. Then, connect all the dots you have
drawn.
1. On June 15,1991, Mt. Pinatubo erupted, which was noted as the second most
powerful eruption. It is located at Zambales, Philippines.
2. Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand is one of the more active volcanoes in the
Ring of Fire, with yearly minor eruptions, and major eruptions occurring about
every 50 years.
3. Mount Fuji, Japan's tallest and most famous mountain, is an active volcano in
the Ring of Fire. Mount Fuji last erupted in 1707, but recent earthquake
activity in eastern Japan may have put the volcano in a "critical state."
4. On 10 April 1815, Tambora produced the largest eruption known on the planet
during the past 10,000 years.
5. Mount St. Helens, in the U.S. state of Washington, is an active volcano in the
Cascade Mountains. Its historic 1980 eruption lasted 9 hours and covered
nearby areas in tons of volcanic ash.
6. The Bogoslof island is the exposed summit of a volcano that sits in 6,000 feet
of water in the Bering Sea about 40 miles west of the Alaskan island of
Unalaska, which is part of the Aleutian chain. Bogoslof has had a series of
eruptions over the several weeks in December 2016, spewing gases and ash
into the skies and prompting aviation warnings.​
