This interactive resource adapted from the National Park Service illustrates the variety of landforms and features created by volcanoes. Featured are calderas, craters, fumaroles and other geothermal features, igneous rocks, lava flows, lava tubes, and maars.

Il volume rappresenta la tappa finale della prima stagione di implementazione del Progetto ABACUS (giugno 2019 - settembre 2020), sostenuta dal finanziamento pubblico garantito dalla Regione Siciliana e dalla Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri. In tal senso, la pubblicazione raccoglie sia una sezione di materiali di discussione critica sul percorso progettuale e sui primi esiti maturati, sia una ricca parte di contributi tematici offerti da referenti istituzionali, studiosi ed esperti, docenti accademici e ricercatori, professionisti e rappresentanti di organismi del Terzo settore Sono state così affrontate ed esaminate differenti tematiche e problematiche socio-culturali e socio-economiche, e prospettive e approcci metodologico-operativi tra loro affini e convergenti, che si sviluppano a cavallo delle politiche sociali, giovanili e culturali, della progettazione sociale e culturale, dell'innovazione sociale e della diversità culturale, in differenti contesti socio-territoriali siciliani e italiani, con una particolare attenzione per quelle iniziative che rappresentano casi paradigmatici in cui le istanze istituzionali, della ricerca, dell'educazione e della formazione si incontrano con le aspettative dei pubblici differenziati e, specialmente, delle giovani generazioni, anche sull'orizzonte della innovazione dell'occupazione giovanile.

The purpose of this resource is to introduce students to the concept that sometimes there is no one "right" answer to a question or measurement. Students learn to be careful when searching for a right answer to questions such as 'What time is it?' by comparing multiple measurements of the time of day. Students gain an intuitive understanding of the characteristics of imperfect measurements. Using different clocks, students simultaneously record the displayed times. The resulting time measurements are converted from minutes and seconds to seconds. These measurements are plotted to illustrate the mathematical techniques of averages and deviations from an average.

Students develop a basic understanding of how and why scientists study the electromagnetic spectrum and magnetic fields of the Sun to gain a greater understanding of solar activity and space weather.

GEO 133, titled "World Regional Geography," is a comprehensive 3-credit online course that delves into the physical and cultural geography of the world's major regions. Suitable for students looking to fulfill requirements in Social and Behavioral Sciences, this course enhances understanding of global and historical awareness through a detailed exploration of the earth's climatic, vegetation, and landform features, alongside cultural aspects like ethnicity, religion, and economic systems. Throughout the 16-week semester, the course is divided into thematic weeks, each focusing on different geographical regions—from Europe and Russia to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Students engage with interactive elements such as map reading, identification of thematic data, and tools like Google Earth, enhancing their ability to analyze and compare cultural and physical landscapes globally. Assessments are varied, including quizzes, discussions, and a mid-term exam, all aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of world geography and the dynamics of regional differences and interactions. The course is accessible through the a learning management system platform and requires consistent internet access for successful participation and completion.
