101 animation illuminate the most difficult-to-visualize topics in physical geology, physical geography, oceanography, meteorology, and Earth science. Created through a unique collaboration among Prentice Hall's leading geoscience authors -- including Robert Christopherson, Darrel Hess, Fred Lutgens, Aurora Pun, Gary Smith, Ed Tarbuck, and Al Trujillo -- the animations are conveniently provided as Flash files and pre-loaded into PowerPoint slides.

Inhalt

2. Angular Unconformities, Nonconformities, and
Disconformities
3. Atmospheric Energy Balance
4. Atmospheric Stability
5. Atmospheric Stability and Saturation Control — This modified version of our “Atmospheric Stability”
animation also allows manipulation of the saturation level in Stage 3.
6. Beach Drift and Longshore Currents
7. Calcareous Ooze and the Calcite Compensation Depth — NEW to the 4e, this animation shows how calcareous ooze can be found beneath the calcite
compensation depth (CCD), even though at depths below the CCD, calcareous ooze dissolves.

15. Convergent Margins: India-Asia Collision 2 — NEW to the 4e, this modified version of “Convergent Margins: India-Asia Collision 1” has an alternate ocean floor map at the beginning as well as auto-pauses and
additional profiles at 55, 38, and 10 million years ago.
16. Coriolis Effect
17. Cross-Bedding

70. Relative Geologic Dating 2
71. Seafloor Spreading and Magnetization
72. Seafloor Spreading and Plate Boundaries
73. Seamounts/Tablemounts and Coral Reef Stages — NEW to the 4e, this animation shows how sea­mounts and tablemounts are created at a mid-ocean ridge and how tablemounts become flat on top. It also illustrates the three stages of coral reef formation from fringing reef to barrier reef to atoll.
