In addition, perhaps someone out there could suggest a few titles or
distributors of quality geography videos. This is a first request for this
subject (and the librarian handling this subject area is new) so any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Volcanoes Of The United States
Volcanoes are not just found in Hawaii. The United States is fortunate to
have active and dormant volcanoes in many of her Western States. This program
visits some of the most prominent volcanoes in America. 24 min.

-- Forces That Shape Our Earth Explore the major landforms of our world with spectacular video footage. Look at the various forces that affect our physical environment including glaciers, volcanoes, gravity, rivers, lakes and oceans, movement in the earth, wind and temperature changes. This video is a superb introduction to the ways all these forces work together to shape our planet. 30 min. KG1151 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 24 min. KG1152 $29.95 KG1152DVD $39.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earthquakes And How They Are Measured Take a look at how earthquakes are measured in this excellent program. Seismologists from the National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colorado show how earthquake epicenters are located. You will observe an actual earthquake being captured and the measurement scales, both Mercalli, and Richter are explained. You will also see an example of triangulation in capturing earthquake data. 32 min. KG1153 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waves, Coastlines And Beaches This live-action video deals with the geological processes that take place where ocean meets land. Learn how erosional and depositional processes form features such as rugged coastlines, barrier islands, spits, Tombolos, wave cut terraces sea stacks and beaches. Animated sequences take you underwater to show processes underway just off the shoreline. 18 min. KG1154 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Physical Geography Of The United States This video program is a valuable tool for introducing students to a general geology of the United States and an introduction to the major Physiographic Provinces of the United States. Discover the general geologic forces that have been in progress since the beginning of time and the effect they have on the earth. 29 min. KG1155 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Hydrologic Cycle This program examines one of the most important processes that affect life on earth. The water cycle is covered from transpiration through evaporation to condensation, precipitation and run-off. This is an excellent introduction to a fast moving process that students see on a daily basis. 21 min. KG1156 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geologic Time Geologic Time refers to the millions or even billions of years in which the processes and forces that shape the earth took place. Learn why and how scientists use this time scale and why it is divided into Eras, Epochs and Periods. Explore how geologists use potassium-argon dating to determine the age of rocks and minerals. Visit Ohio State Universitys dating lab and see the dating process in action. 25 min. KG1157 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Underground Water This video discusses how water is trapped between grains of rock underground. discover wells, water flow, hydrology, artesian wells and the water table. 20 min. KG1158 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Running Water-How It Erodes And Deposits Running water changes the surface of the earth by cutting away rock in one place, carrying this load and then depositing it in another place. This program explores the relationship of running water to the land. Concepts investigated include suspension, solution, load, rapids, potholes, meanders, braided streams, deltas, alluvial fans, waterfalls and flood plains. The program also explores characteristics found in youthful, mature and old streams. 41 min. KG1159 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glaciers That Shape Our Earth Glaciers have had a more profound effect on the surface of the earth than probably any other geological process. This is the one audiovisual aid you SHOULD have to explain the world of glaciers to your students. This video clearly investigates what glaciers do and how they affected most of North America. 51 min. KG1160 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction To Rocks And Minerals This program examines the characteristics of common rocks and minerals and teaches identification procedures. Youll learn about the physical properties of minerals including hardness, luster and color as well as the chemical compositions of important rock-forming minerals. 25 min. KG1161 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sedimentary Rocks And Their Formation One of the three basic types of rock, sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, siltstones, coquina, mudstones, shale, dolomites, conglomerates, fossil limestone and sandstones. This program investigates how weathering breaks up rock and the this sediment is later turned into the various kinds of clastic and non-clastic rocks. The program also shows how students can make sedimentary rock using simple, everyday materials. 18 min. KG1162 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metamorphic Rocks Rocks that have been changed by pressure or heat or a combination of both are called metamorphic. Rocks such as slates, schists, gneisses, granite, marble and quartzite are explored and the mechanism of change discussed. 21 min. KG1163 $29.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Igneous Rocks The third classification of rocks are those which were formed deep in the earths crust by melting and then recrystallization. These rocks include volcanic rocks, igneous rocks of dykes and sills and plutonic rocks such as granite, syenite, gabbro and ultramafic rocks. Many specimens are discussed that are not often found in classroom labs or textbooks. 18 min.
