Historic Volcanic Eruptions Discussion

For this week’s discussion, you’re going to start finding resources on ELAC Library’s website. One of my favorite volcanic eruptions in history, which we’ll talk about next week, was the eruption of Krakatoa, Indonesia in 1883. You’re going to be researching this eruption and answering some questions about it.

please respond to this prompt with the following information

Part 1:

Learn about the kinds of resources that are available through One Search, a one-stop-shop for research on the library’s website.

From elac.edu, select Library from the Menu.

On the Library’s front page, you will see a search bar that says “One Search”.

In this search bar, search “Krakatoa”. Feel free to play around with the search terms; try variations and see the difference in the results.

On One Search, find and give the MLA citation (https://www.citationmachine.net/mla/cite-a-book (Links to an external site.)) for:

1 book about Krakatoa

1 newspaper article from the past 10 years about Krakatoa’s eruptions

1 journal article from the 1800s about the 1883 eruption

WHICH SOURCE WOULD YOU PREFER TO READ TO GAIN A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE GEOLOGY OF THE KRAKATOA VOLCANO?

Part 2:

Locate and open the article entitled Krakatoa by H.M. Paul, published in Science, August 15, 1884, Vol.4(80), pp.135-136. Read this short article and answer the following question: How far away was the 1883 Krakatoa eruption heard? It is a scientifically complicated, dense article, but try to scan the sentences for the information to answer this question. Do you think you need to understand everything in an article to be able to pull facts from a source?

after you finish part 1 and 2, please respond to two classmates, I will send their prompts once you choose this question
