 Dynamic Earth demo |
 Dynamic Earth:  The Earth is a dynamic place! Witness the changing of our planet over time. Take the grand tour starting with the formation of the solar system. Then, discover the age of the Earth and understand the orbital characteristics of our planet. Learn what's under your feet - the Earth's crust, the mantle and the core. On the surface, see how Earth's systems - the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, the biosphere and the geosphere - dynamically interact. |
 Restless Earth |
Restless Earth: Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Tectonic Plates Take a jaunt through geologic time to learn about ancient plants and animals, and how the Earth's surface has changed over time. Like pages in a good history book, discover how stratigraphy and breaks in the rock record help unravel the past. Explore the idea of continental drift and evaluate the supporting evidence. Gain an understanding of how continental drift led to the discovery of the grand theory of plate tectonics. Gain insight into plate tectonic forces, hot spots, mantle plumes, folds, faults, the processes of mountain building, the power of volcanoes and earthquakes, and discover the most dynamic places on Earth - the plate tectonic boundaries. |
 Carving Earth demo |
Carving the Earth: Rivers, Glaciers, and Weathering Weathering and erosion are key processes that change our world! Learn how physical and chemical weathering shape our land, and produce Earth's life-sustaining soil. Experience the Earth's dynamic hydrologic cycle on the surface and underground. Learn about rivers, the water table, groundwater, and how water moves and modifies the Earth's surface. Learn about the power of glaciers, how they move, shape and subdue the land. Investigate the mountain ranges and the topography of the ocean floor, and explore the unique characteristics of shorelines and beaches. Then travel way up into space for a fascinating look at Earth's landforms from a whole new perspective. |
 Rocks Minerals |
Rocks and Minerals Explore the fascinating world of beautiful rocks and minerals and crystals and learn about the three great rock groups that make up our entire planet - igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Take a closer look at the "rocks of fire". Understand the difference between lava and magma, and between rocks that form at the surface and those that form deep within the Earth. Learn how loose bits of rock, soil and organic debris are deposited in layers that eventually form sedimentary rocks that blanket the Earth. Understand how heat, pressure and fluids can change existing rock into metamorphic rock, and about the fascinating new minerals that form. Then shift your focus and discover Earth's bounty of renewable and non-renewable resources - from solar, wind, and other alternative energy sources to fossil fuels. Learn about conservation, reclamation and the 4 "R"s (recycle, reduce, reuse and remember!). |
