Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Teaching on the "volcanism" and "formation of igneous rocks", using physical and chemical concepts, should be designed in present-day Japanese science education. Our attempts resulted as follow: (1) Image teaching materials of the volcanic rocks and pyroclasts to teach crystallization and vesiculation based on saturation concept were published in WEB page. (2) Using the pumice fragments, a demonstrative experiment was newly considered to teach plinian eruption. (3) Teaching materials of an flat submarine basaltic volcano erupted pillow lavas and fire fountain were shown from the Ogi Basalt, Sado Island, Japan, part of which were introduced by a TV open lecture. (4) Research techniques of the volcanic ash layers and roles of them as key beds were summarized in a lecture series as "Tephrology" (7 issues) in the journal "The Quaternary Research". (5) Volcanogenic catastrophic floods were geologically demonstrated, which provided knowledges for disaster prevention.
