Designed to introduce key earth science concepts, this series also gives an overview of the interactions of life on earth and our planet's place in the universe. Combining striking video and photos with dazzling special effects and computer simulations, these programs will excite and ...
Whatever is inside the earth is very hot. The trail of clues leads to the model of a metallic core surrounded by a rocky mantle. Huge, slow convection currents rise up, often resulting in earthquakes and volcanoes.
Powerful weather and the water cycle's part in it are explored together in this production. The cycle often results in warm and cold air masses battling against each other along boundaries or fronts. These fronts moving around the globe are exacerbated by the jet streams of wind currents ...
A fossil is a trace of a living thing left in rock. Fossils offer a three-party challenge first to reconstruct the organism itself, then to reconstruct the world lived in, then to understand its place in time and evolution.
Experience the cosmic wonder of a universe expanding at phenomenal rates, as discovered by Edwin Hubble in the 1920's. Be dazzled by the Hubble Space Telescope's sighting of an incomprehensible number of clustered galaxies throughout the cosmos. This awe-inspiring view of astronomy is put in ...
Geology as science began with the Industrial Revolution in England. Rock strata were studied and compared and an amazing conclusion was drawn: Our Earth is unbelievably old.
Presented by young scientists, this 7 part series looks at the science of geology: the history of earth and life in rocks. It discusses fossils; the molten core of the earth; tectonic forces; the import of the sun, wind and water on the earth. Geology as a science is recent, beginning in the ...
Experience the world of plants as the essential foundation of life on earth. Their beauty is shown, as are their functions, such as providing food, clothing, and shelter. Stop-motion and time-lapse cinematography clearly and amazingly reveal how seeds are formed, the myriad ways that they ...
Find out why the solid-seeming earth is actually a changing body, constantly destroying and rebuilding itself. Tectonic plates' movements are clearly demonstrated as the source of these alterations through exciting live-action and computer graphic images. Viewers learn how ...
Volcanoes and earthquakes are only part of a bigger picture. Tectonic forces also push continents around and cause mountains to be uplifted. The crust recycles itself. The lighter rocks of the continents float on the heavier rocks of the mantle.
