Experience the powerful forces that shape our planet in this exciting and educational online geology class designed for homeschool families, young scientists, and curious learners. In Volcanoes, Earthquakes & Natural Disasters, students will explore how tectonic plates move, why volcanoes erupt, and how earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides occur. We will investigate how minerals and crystals can form during volcanic activity, examine famous natural disaster events from around the world, and learn how scientists monitor and study these dramatic earth processes.

This class combines geology, physics, and environmental science to help students understand both the dangers and the importance of natural disasters in shaping landscapes and ecosystems. Learners will discover how modern technology helps predict volcanic eruptions and seismic activity, how communities prepare for emergencies, and how recovery efforts rebuild affected areas. Perfect for upper elementary and middle school homeschool students — or anyone who enjoys structured online learning similar to Outschool — this high-interest course builds critical thinking skills, scientific vocabulary, and a deeper appreciation for the dynamic nature of Earth.
