  1. First, your list of places is impressive! However, when it comes to evaluating this site, you needed to use the evaluative techniques of C.A.R.D.I.O., which are on the class wiki. These include issues like authority, credibility, relevance, commercialism, etc. In this case, you have a .com site, but your question is a factual one, so it's less likely to run into bias or difficulty. That said, like all .coms, the idea is to advertise and to promote. John Seach, whose web site you visited, is a volcano adventurer who owns a television production company. Fortunately, he is very knowledgeable about volcanoes, so his list of volcanoes is likely to be accurate and you're okay with this site, but it is a criterion that needs to be considered.
