Amazing planet Cambridge core science series Complete new releases curriculum library 2006 Core curriculum video libraries (Cambridge educational (Firm)) Core curriculum video library Earth story (Television program) Librarian special (Cambridge educational (Firm)) Physical science collection (New York, N.Y.)Summary: Through volcanic eruptions of molten rock, Planet Earth is forever giving birth to itself. But this engine of landmass creation is also a vehicle of cataclysmic destruction-particularly in the form of the super-volcano. This episode from the Amazing Planet series takes viewers backward into the dim reaches of geologic time and forward into the not-too-distant future to illustrate how magma and...

Summary: In this program a young environmental engineer takes viewers into the field for an in-depth look at the rock cycle and the geologic processes that occur within Earth's core, mantle, and crust. Using dynamic graphics to illustrate essential terms, the video covers the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks; their physical and chemical properties; subgroups and examples of each;...

Summary: When the USDA replaced MyPyramid with MyPlate, the goal was to simplify dietary recommendations by providing at-a-glance guidelines without having to weigh and measure at every meal. This program explores the key concepts of MyPlate and how it correlates to the more detailed Dietary Guidelines for Americans, including portion sizes, proportions, food group choices, and caloric balance. The...

Summary: Plate tectonics is the movement of the super-continents as they split apart. They also collided and joined back together again. When they did, mountains, such as the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau, were formed. These collisions also disrupted prevailing weather patterns and established new ones. See how 7 million years ago, as a result of India colliding with the Asian land mass, Africa...

Summary: When a volcano erupts, the earth is transformed. When the flow of lava stops, there is a dangerous new world to explore, another planet, so to speak-a land of spectacular craters, strange lakes of acid water, and glaciers melting from the inside out. This program follows a German photographer and researchers from the University of Nice as they document volcanic activity, as well as its effects,...

Summary: Studies of our planet's crust, or lithosphere, suggest that it's not a single solid layer at all. This video illustrates the process of scientific inquiry by studying the evolution of our understanding of plate tectonics, the dynamics of those ever-shifting slabs of earth we call solid ground. Beginning with Alfred Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift, the program discusses major and minor...
