9. How does the lava appear in this FCC? Can you distinguish different ages of lava? If so, why?
10. What are the light green pixels in the area of the summit? Were they visible in the previous combinations? Why or why not? Think about the mid-IR band.
11. What are the red pixels in the area of the summit? Why do they appear red?
12. Play with different colour combinations. 13. Try to identify lava and infrastructure (cities, villages, roads). 14. With which combination can you best identify volcanic lava? 15. How far does volcanic lava extend? Can you estimate when this occurred? (use the eruptions table in the introduction)
