Descripción: The Earth is formed by accretion of spatial particulates and large masses and eventually formes an outer crust. Video follows with speculation of early plates and land masses and their movement through time.

Descripción: Continental Drift and Plate Tectonics explores the inner earth and its surface. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the Mount St. Helen's volcanic eruption are explained and illustrated through narration and spectacular historical footage. The program also explores the theory of continental drift as well as that of magnetic north and many other phenomena. 18 minutes, color.

Descripción: The uneven heating also controls weather systems. The heat absorbed by the oceans and carried by its currents is constantly being released into the atmosphere. This heat and moisture drive atmospheric circulation and set weather patterns in motion. The weather patterns then influence vegetation, as well as erosion and sediment transport. Ever since the first photos were sent back from space, our ...

Descripción: The theory of plate tectonics unifies many different fields of Earth and even Biological Sciences. It explains the origins different geographic on land and the seafloor, it explains the reasons for earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunami, it explains, in part, climate change through geologic time, and it explains, in part, the evolution of life, including humans. Here I present some of the basic terms...

Descripción: Science On a Sphere® is a large visualization system that uses computers and video projectors to display animated data onto the outside of a sphere. Said another way, SOS is an animated globe that can show dynamic, animated images of the atmosphere, oceans, and land of a planet. NOAA primarily uses SOS as an education and outreach tool to describe the environmental processes of Earth. This vide...

Descripción: Through live-action demonstrations and vivid animations, Dr. Pat Abbott explains how earthquakes have shaped the scenery and the character of the greater Los Angeles area. Dr. Abbott shows how faults capable of large earthquakes lie beneath most of the area, posing great risk to the millions of people living in earthquake country. Animations illustrate how and why earthquakes happen, how mountains...
