To illustrate the threat that volcanic hazards pose to humans, write about a recent volcanic eruption and how it impacted people living nearby. In the United States, the 1980 Mt. St. Helens volcano eruption impacted travel and commerce in the U.S. for several weeks. The Iceland volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in April 2010 grounded airplane travel in Europe for several weeks and impacted University of Evansville students trying to fly home after a semester at Harlaxton College in England. The eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991 caused “global cooling” for two years.
use at least half of your paper to describe volcanic hazards, then use the rest of your paper to describe a recent (within the past 100 years) volcanic eruption that occurred and how it impacted people living in the area.
Format the paper using either APA style or MLA style; do not mix the two styles. Please visit the Purdue Owl website for APA and MLA style criteria (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/resources.html). It is important that you list all sources correctly on your Reference page (APA) or Works Cited page (MLA). All sources that are listed must be cited correctly in the paper. Cite sources in the paper by author’s name and date.
It is important that your paper is well organized. The first paragraph of your paper needs to include your thesis statement. The thesis statement is usually the last sentence of the first paragraph.
Each paragraph in the paper should address a single topic that supports your thesis. Feel free to insert figures (photos, maps, diagrams) and tables in the paper. Each figure and table must have a caption and cite the source of the information in the figure or table.
The summary paragraph should reiterate key points from the body of the paper that support the thesis. New information should not be placed in the summary.
Proof read your paper carefully for grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors. One of the best ways to proofread your paper is to read the entire paper out loud, word-for-word. If there are errors, you will find them. I also encourage you to have friends or family proofread your papers to assist you in eliminating grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors.
