1. One half of the radioactive potassium-40 (K40) in an igneous rock has decayed to argon-40 (Ar40). According to the ESRT, about how many years ago was this rock formed?
(1) 1.3 x 109
(2) 2.6 x 109
(3) 3.9 x 109
(4) 9.8 x 109
2. State one difference between dating with radioactive isotope Carbon-14 and dating with the radioactive isotope uranium-238.
Carbon-14 can date organic remains.
Uranium-238 has a longer half-life.

Mt. St. Helens Facts:• It is a stratovolcano (or composite volcano), located in
southwest Washington State.
• May 18th, 1980, 8:32 am (PDT). Eruption was triggered by a 5.1 earthquake centered beneath the mountain.
• The massive ash cloud grew to 80,000 feet (18 kilometers) in 15 minutes and reached the east coast in 3 days. Although most of the ash fell within 300 miles of the mountain, finer ash circled the earth in 15 days and may continue to stay in the atmosphere for many years.
• 57 people were killed as a result of the eruption. Of these, 21 bodies were never recovered from the blast zone.

7,000 big game animals, 12 million Chinook and Coho salmon, and millions of birds and small mammals are believed to have died in the eruption.

Current Eruptions December 15, 2007
Popocatepetl, Mexico
Giant plume of ash and steam spewed up to heights of 3,000 m (2 miles)
Volcanic ash from a single eruption can be deposited in a thin layer on the ground worldwide. Ash deposits can help with relative age dating of rock strata.

Risks Associated with Volcanos
• Loss of land, livestock, homes (etc), trees
• Weather is affected by ash particles in air
• Injuries, deaths of humans

Benefits of Volcanoes
• Soil around volcanoes is rich with minerals for plants/crops.
• Geothermal heating of homes close to volcanic regions.
• Hot springs.
• Tourism.
