Placing Lists in Your HTML Document

Using the list tags, you will now add an ordered and an unordered list to your Volcano Web page.

1. Re-open your workspace (if not already opened).
2. Open your HTML document in the text editor.
3. Under the Volcano Terminology header we will use an unordered list to display examples of technical words used in the study of volcanoes. Go to this section in your HTML document.
4. First add the following sentence.

        How many of these do you know?

5. Now enter the HTML format to create the list of terms:

         <ul>
             <li>caldera
             <li>vesicularity
             <li>pahoehoe
             <li>rheology
             <li>lahar
         </ul>
   

6. Now we will use an ordered list to define the required parts of the assignment in this lesson. Under the Research Project heading, enter the following: (HINT -- this might be a good time to copy and paste from the web page, unless you enjoy typing in text!)

   
     Your mission is to find information and report on a volcano, 
     other than the ones listed above, that has erupted in the last 
     100 years. Your reports must include:
     <ol>
       <li>Type of volcano
       <li>Geographic location
       <li>Name, distance, and population of nearest major city
       <li>Dates of most recent and most destructive eruptions.
       <li>Other events associated with the recent eruptions  
       (earthquakes, floods, mudslides, etc)
     </ol>
     <p>
     Then, write a one page description on the major hazards to humans 
     in the vicinity of this volcano. Speculate on what you would do 
     if you were in charge of minimizing the risk to the population.
