Summary

This library offers 101 animations that illuminate the most difficult-to-visualize topics in physical geology, physical geography, oceanography, meteorology, and Earth science. Created through a unique collaboration among Pearsonrs"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. The Fourth Edition of this library contains five oceanography topics new to this edition: bull; Calcareous Ooze and the Calcite Compensation Depth bull; Daily Movement of the Deep Scattering Layer bull; Ekman Spiral and Coastal Upwelling/Downwelling bull; Seamounts/Tablemounts and CoralReef Stages bull; Wave Interference (with and without 3D Visualization) The entire library has been re-sequenced in alphabetical order by title - so now itrs"s even easier to find the animation you need. A useful reference for anyone interested in the geosciences and Earthrs"s processes.

Table of Contents

Angular Unconformities and Nonconformities

Angular Unconformities, Nonconformities, and Disconformities

Atmospheric Energy Balance

Atmospheric Stability

Atmospheric Stability and Saturation Control

This modified version of our ldquo;Atmospheric Stabilityrdquo; animation also allows manipulation of the saturation level in Stage 3

Beach Drift and Longshore Currents

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

Caldera Formation

Caldera Formation: Crater Lake

Coastal Stabilization Structures

Cold Fronts and Warm Fronts

Cones of Depression

Convection and Tectonics

Convergent Margins: India-Asia Collision 1

Convergent Margins: India-Asia Collision 2

New to the 4e, this modified version of ldquo;Convergent Margins

India-Asia Collision 1rdquo; 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

Coriolis Effect

Cross-Bedding

Cyclones and Anticyclones

Daily Movement of the Deep Scattering Layer

New to the 4e, this animation shows the daily movement of the oceanrsquo;s deep scattering layer (DSL) as well as examples of the organisms that comprise it

Divergent Boundary Formation

Dry Compaction and Liquefaction

Earth-Sun Relations

This revised animation now includes a ldquo;Continuous Playrdquo; feature

Earthrsquo;s Water and the Hydrologic Cycle

Ekman Spiral and Coastal Upwelling/Downwelling

New to the 4e, this animation shows how an Ekman spiral forms in surface waters due to wind

It also demonstrates how coastal winds in both hemispheres produce upwelling or downwelling

Seafloor Spreading and Magnetization

Seafloor Spreading and Plate Boundaries

Seamounts/Tablemounts and Coral Reef Stages

New to the. 4e, this animation shows how seashy;mounts 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
