This doesn't really belong in Earth Sciences.  Biology or Botany are more specific categories for questions about living matter.  However, I'm in a good mood because it's Friday.  Check the link.

You can go the metorology route. I also have some friends that work for the forrest service that map their trails and do GPS style stuff. I would get comfortable with the common georaphy programs, if your not teaching, then its gonna be involving some computer work

Well, sorry don't know much about the scientific method... But I do know about the scholastic method...and it looks like you'll be failing!!! Due last Friday and you have not finished it yet... That sounds like a failing grade!!!

This is tricky.  Volcano models are a staple of science fairs.  However, if you want to do really well here are some points from a previous science fair judge.\n\n1)  Know the scientific method.  Be able to quote and discuss.\n\n2)  Model your project using the scientific method.\n\n3)  You need to be specialized in your project - general projects exploring a whole category are often overlooked for awards and the best grades.  \n\n4)  Presentation and report - see scientific method for organizing and submit drafts for teacher review.  If you ask they will usually be happy to review and give feedback.\n\n5)  Be organized and know your material.  Have a presentation and review with parents, grandparents and anyone else that will listen.  Practice and use their feedback.\n\nI wish that I had know this when I was back in school.  Science fair projects seemed so scary then.  \n\nGood Luck.

Well, the page linked below lists many of them, but you need to decide what you will count as volcanoes. You take for example Kilauea. Kilauea has erupted from several different craters in the last hundred years, including Halemaumau, Kilauea Iki, and most recently, Puu Oo. Those are a few miles apart. Is each crater a separate volcano?\n\nThe link takes you to a list that is mostly comprised of large shield volcanoes. The island of Hawaii is made of several of those, Maui's got two, Molokai's got three, and the island of Lanai is made of just one. Many of those shield volcanoes have smaller volcanoes on them. \n\nMany of the shield volcanoes like Mauna Kea or Haleakala  have cinder cones on them. I pass two or three on the way to work every day. Are you counting cinder cones? There may not have been a definitive census ever done of those on Hawaiian volcanoes. Diamond Head or Leahi on Oahu is a tuff ring. It was once probably a cinder cone, but do you count tuff rings? Is Diamond Head one of the 40 Honolulu vents mentioned on the page below under Oahu? I don't even know.\n\nDo you count underwater volcanoes? How about the Emperor Seamounts, which were probably formed by the Hawaiian Hot Spot, but which are underwater and stretch all the way north to Alaska?\n\nYour question seems like a simple one that should have a straightforward answer, but it's really not.

Why is it that so many Christians are so terribly uninformed about the nature of science?\n\nDo you honestly believe that radio carbon dating is the only dating method used by scientists? Do you know nothing about stratigraphic layering?\n\nVery well.... a basic science lesson...\n\nIf you know about the movement of the earth and the effect water and wind has on wearing away and moving soil to different areas, then you'll understand what such things as sediment are.\n\nThen please take into consideration such things as volcanic eruptions, and the movement of the techtonic plates (which I'm going to assume you understand since it's what causes earthquakes).\n\nWith all of these it's safe to say that older rock is farther down on a rock wall.\n\nNow, when you look at this rock, that means that the newer rock will be on top of the older rock. By looking at the rock, you can safely place the rock into different layers based on the prevaling earth conditions at that time.\n\nSo, animals that die at that time, will fall into that layer of rock. Such as, animals that die this year, will be found in the layer of rock that's laid down this year.\n\nAnimals that died 1000 years ago will be found in the layer of rock that was laid down during that time.\n\nAnd yes, the layering tends to be very noticable. For example... if you had a volcanic eruption at that time, the fallout from the eruption will fall on the earth in that area, creating a discoloration (and obsidian which is created only by volcanos) rock in that time period.\n\nWhat this is called is stratigraphic layering.\n\nSo, stratigraphic layering is one method of determining age.\n\nHowever, it only shows that one fossil is older than another, it doesn't show the exact age of the fossil.\n\nBut there are other methods.\n\nThe one that the Christians seem to fixate on is radio carbon dating (which btw, is reliable to samples in under 60 000 years of age, and within a time period of a few thousand years on either side of the possibile age). \n\nHowever, there are many other methods that are unknown or completely dismissed by Christians.\n\nUranium-thorium dating\nPotassium-argon dating\nargon-argon dating\nFission track dating\nCosmogenic isotope dating\nRubidium-strontium dating\nSamarium-neodymium dating\nRhenium-osmium dating\nLutetium-hafnium dating\nPaleomagnetic dating\nThermo-luminescence dating (quartz exposure to heat)\n\nBut then we add other methods of dating such as\n\nDendrochronology\nIce cores\nLichenometry\nVarves\n\nAnd that only begins to scratch the surface of dating methods used by scientists. All these methods are based on mathmatics and chemistry. Which methods are used depends on whats found in the area and where the sample is found. Such as, something found on the ocean floor will require different dating methods than something found in the mountains.\n\nSo.... we don't know the age and there's no possible way to find out because you're closed mind and uneducated guess says that the only dating method we use is radio carbon dating? I beg to differ.\n\nThere are many many ways to scientifically prove the age of a sample. But you have to be willing to use them instead of dismiss them because "the only thing accurate can be the bible".\n\nYou see, I intended on being a paleontologist for a living and, though I never did finish the degree, I have something of a clue about all this.\n\nThe long and short of it is, religion is wrong and education is the only way to solve that problem. But you have to be willing to become educated. Knowledge is power.\n\nThe fact that you also completely dismiss such things as DNA, x-rays, lasers, etc, shows just how uneducated you are.

enchanted learning states "There are many types of volcanoes: \nShield Volcano - A gently-sloping volcano that emits mostly basaltic lava (very fluid lava) that flows in long-lasting, relatively gentle eruptions - explosions are minimal. Shield volcanoes can be very big. An example is Mt. Kilauea (in Hawaii, USA). \nComposite or Strato Volcano - A steep-coned volcano that explosively emits gases, ash, pumice, and a small amount of stiff, silica lava (called rhyolite). This type of volcano can have eruptions accompanied by lahars -- deadly mudflows. Most volcanoes on Earth are of this type. Stratovolcanoes kill more people than any other type of volcanoes - this is because of their abundance on Earth and their powerful mudflows. Examples are Krakatoa in Indonesia, Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines, and Mt. St. Helens in Washington state, USA. \nLava Dome - A bulbous (rounded) volcano that forms when very viscous lava barely flows. An example is Mont Pelée in Martinique. \nCinder Cone - A cone-shaped volcano whose steep sides are formed by loose, fragmented cinders that fall to the Earth close to the vent. The lava flows through a single vent that is usually only up to about 1,000 feet tall. There is usually a bowl-shaped crater at the top. As the gas-filled lava erupts into the air, the lava fragments into pieces and forms cinders. \nRhyolite Caldera Complex - these are the most explosive volcanoes. They do not look like common volcanoes -- after an eruption, the result is a caldera (crater) caused when the area around the vent collapses. Examples are Yellowstone in Wyoming, USA and Lake Taupo in New Zealand (which erupted around A.D. 80). \n more information can be found at http://www.educ.uvic.ca/faculty/mroth/438/VOLCANO/TYPES.html \n and\nhttp://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/VolcanoTypes/volcano_types_quick_reference.html

Wellll, the following site should provide most, and maybe all, of the answers you need.  It's a glossary of volcanic and geologic terms:\n\nhttp://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/glossary.html\n\n1a = crater, 8 = vent, 12 = viscous or viscosity, 10 = plate tectonics\n\nGood luck!

You need to include:\n1. A world map of volcanoes. \n2. Statistics about volcanoes (average number of people died from them, how frequently they erupt and destroy things).\n3. Glossy color pictures of volcanoes.\n4. A scientific basis, such as \n.....a question "why do volcanoes occur?"\n.....specific hypotheses as explanations of natural phenomena (a short guess about why volcanoes erupt before the kid does any research, such as "I thought volcanoes erupted because it was like a big pimple. I wasn't sure, so I decided to research this topic.")\n.....research about why (check the Internet, encyclopedia or library)\n.....a conclusion "volcanoes happen because ..."\n.....and "my hypothesis was wrong. I found that volcanoes are not like pimples. They are more like open arteries, because once they erupt they keep spewing until they go dry."\n5. All the good volcano projects have videos of live volcanoes (use an LCD monitor).

For your information Julie, I had already did my homework, I was wondering if anybody else knew what Methanothermus fervidus was. And my GPA is a 4.0 so you don't have to tell me that by reading more I will accomplish more. So now you let us know when you have a more complicated question about something other than a Ham & Cheese webstite. Thank you for your time in answering my question.
