Geology 101 Series
Introduce the science of geology to your students with our Geology 101 Series. From an overview of the general study of the earth, delve into geological specialties such as map making, to the processes that shape our planet. The titles below provide a general introduction to concepts applied in our other earth science series.
What is Geology?
An overview of the science of geology, the study of the earth. Paleontology, Mineralogy, Geomorphology, Glaciology, Volcanism, Petrology, Movement in the Earth's Crust and Geologic Time.

Waves, Coastlines and Beaches
Rugged Coastlines... Barrier Islands Splits... Tombolos... Wave Cut Terraces... Sea Stacks... Beaches. These are some of the many erosional and depositional features which are covered in this live action video program dealing with the geological processes which take place where ocean meets land. In addition, graphics and animation take you below the water's surface to show you what is taking place just offshore under water.

Weathering and Erosion
This program explores how the surface of the earth is in constant struggle with the elements. Wind, running water, gravity and temperature changes break down rock formations and carry away material to build up deltas, beaches, geosynclines and dunes. This program was filmed all over America.
Subjects covered include: the difference between weathering and erosion; how wind, water and gravity work to destroy and carry away eroded material to change the surface of the earth; how running water acts to carry away all rock materials and deposit in the world's oceans; a visit Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah to see a living laboratory of weathering and erosion; how the forces of nature work to level the surface of the land.

Topographic Maps
Topographic maps are graphic representations of selected man made and natural features of a part of the earth's surface plotted to a definite scale. TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS show the location and shape of mountains, valleys and plains; the network of streams, rivers and the principle works of man.

Geologic Maps: Portraits of the Earth
Geologic maps are basically portraits of the earth. Geologists have devised these maps so that they can see the earth as it would appear with all the overlying material stripped away to reveal the layers of rock just below. Using various symbols a geologic maps show where faults or folds occur, as well as the different kinds of rock, and mineral deposits.
