Sky High: Keeping Track of Volcano Plumes – Download PDF (3.1 MB) May 2018
EO Kids is blasting into the sky and following the trails of volcanic plumes as they travel across the globe. In this issue, you will discover how satellites help us make air travel safer in the aftermath of an eruption. You can create your own flipbook animation and track the traveling ash and gas in this month’s activities. Plus, see a volcano in 3-D.
At EO Kids we are committed to making Earth science fun and engaging. Come explore Earth with us.
