How Volcanoes Affect Earth’s Climate over Millions of Years
Description
In this 360° video from the Sierra Nevadas’ Long Valley Caldera and Antarctica’s Mount Erebus, see how volcanoes belch carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere, which has slowly changed Earth’s climate for millions of years.

Level of Guidance
What does this mean?
The Level of Guidance indicates how much the creator has imbued the video with a sense of at what the viewer should be looking.
For instance, a Level 1 video would mean that the camera has been left in place while life happens around it, allowing you, as the viewer, to simply observe. A Level 2 video might incorporate subtle visual, textual or audible hints or simple transitions. A Level 3 video would rely on a handful of hints and transition. A Level 4 video would employ multiple hints and dialogue. And a Level 5 video would rely on all of the above as well as a narrative arc that pushes the viewer forward.
Another way of looking at this would be how much production went into the video if you are considering making one of your own like it.
