Volcano Video Part 1/2
Two geologists have been testing there hypothesis of volcanoes trying to predict when they will erupt. Cheutt has been using A/B types to forecast an eruption of volcanoes while Stan Williams uses gas to monitor sulfur dioxide from volcanoes to predict when they it will also erupt. Both geologists’ methods worked. In a situation, like a volcanic eruption, people shouldn’t sit around questioning about whether they should evacuate or not. People should hit the road because there is no time for answers when so many lives are in danger. If LA was in need of an evacuation, I feel that the government should send armies out to evacuate LA within 24 hrs. Minorities should make sure to take along plenty of waters, blankets, and other important necessities needed. However, I do not believe it is possible for everyone to evacuate because LA is not that small and there are complicated people out there who would stay. I believe volcanologists made irresponsible decision going into Galeras ignoring signs of an eruption putting there lives in danger. If I had to apply scientific method in action, my observation will be saving lives. The hypothesis will be A/B type or gases to predict volcanoes. The experiment will be Cheutt using seismographs to put to test while Stan Williams gets close to volcanoes to monitor sulfur dioxide. Even though both methods worked, Cheutt’s hypothesis was more accurate for forecasting when volcanoes will erupt because the seismograph predicted eruption early before the event actually occurred. It gives residents enough time to evacuate.
