**1. RESEARCH QUESTION:** What types of volcanoes are visible in Earth satellite images and what types of volcanic features are visible from Earth satellite images?

**2. HYPOTHESIS:** From our research, we can conclude that Strato, Shield, Cinder-Cone volcanoes, Calderas, lava flows our visible from Earth satellite images.

**3. ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA:** We observed many images from the Gateway of Astronaut Photography. We broke up into groups and each group researched what different types of volcanic features were visible, with certain camera lens, from space

**DATA ANALYSIS #1:** Many different types of volcanoes/volcanic features are visible from space with certain lens.
 * **RESTATE A SPECIFIC DATA DISPLAY __OBSERVATION__ FROM STEP 6:**

This evidence above helps us recognize what lens we need to take a picture of certain features and volcanoes.
 * **__INTERPRETATION__ OF WHAT THAT OBSERVATION MEANS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR QUESTION:**

The evidence is very useful because the different types of lenses are used to enhance the quality of the unique characteristics of each feature.
 * **ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS YOUR INTERPRETATION:**

**DATA ANALYSIS #2:** Knowing what kind of Volcanoes appear in the Ring of Fire, and how many times they appear, will help us understand what kind of volcano we are looking at most of the time in images; also it will tell us what volcano is the most rare. Let's say that we really want to take a photo of a Strato Volcano, using the information that we have, we can know that there are many strato volcanoes in the Pacific Ring of Fire.Thus narrowing down to one certain area.
 * **RESTATE A SPECIFIC DATA DISPLAY __OBSERVATION__ FROM STEP 6:**
 * **__INTERPRETATION__ OF WHAT THAT OBSERVATION MEANS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR QUESTION:**

This information makes finding certain volcanoes much easier.
 * **ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS YOUR INTERPRETATION:**

**DATA ANALYSIS #3:** Knowing the location of the volcanoes in the Pacific Ring of Fire will help us capture images of specific volcanoes.
 * **RESTATE A SPECIFIC DATA DISPLAY __OBSERVATION__ FROM STEP 6:**

Let's say we want to take an image of Mt. Fuji, and we're not sure where that is. Having this map will help us find where it is in Japan.
 * **__INTERPRETATION__ OF WHAT THAT OBSERVATION MEANS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR QUESTION:**

This also makes finding the location of the volcanoes we need simpler and faster.
 * **ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS YOUR INTERPRETATION:**

If we didn't use an accurate map, we may think certain volcanoes are in places where they aren't, causing us to have false information.
 * CONSIDERATION OF ISSUES POTENTIALLY AFFECTING YOUR RESEARCH **
 * 1. POTENTIAL ERRORS OR INACCURACIES: **

If we wanted to take a image of a volcano in the ring of fire, but had the wrong coordinates, we could possibly miss the volcano.
 * 2. POTENTIAL MISINTERPRETATIONS: **

If we couldn't find a useful website with enough information, we may not find all the data we needed.
 * 3. LIMITATIONS OF DATA: **

If any of the websites we used had incorrect information, our data wouldn't be correct.
 * 4. OTHER: **
