What will happen to Los Angeles when the big one strikes? The answer may be found at an earthquake site over 6,000 miles away. Examines why the 7.4 earthquake that struck Izmit, Turkey, killed over 17,000 people in 1999. Explains why even trained rescuers fight an impossible battle. Offers suggestions as to what Los Angeles must do to be better prepared for the earthquake that scientists see as inevitable, and to prevent this same tragedy from happening.

Human actions can have positive and negative impacts on Earth. Students will learn ways to make sure they help preserve the Earth.
Students will learn practices for keeping the Earth healthy. The video distinguishes between unstainable and sustainable practices.
Explains why Earth is precious and how it is being damaged. Special attention is paid to how individuals can conserve natural resources and care for the planet.
Earth has many systems and cycles that help regulate the processes needed to sustain life. These systems are susceptible to human impact. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
Produced by the American Geosciences Institute, this segment provides an overview of the biosphere and its components. Additional discussions include how humans are impacting the biosphere. Part of the "Visions of Earth" series.
This segment answers the questions surrounding the origins of Earth. Scientists use clues from the past to help explain how Earth formed. Other topics covered include matter, minerals, and rocks. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
Part of the Project-Based Inquiry Science "Earth Science Content Videos" series. Modules include the following: "Mantle Simulation: Hot Water in Cup," "Mantle Simulation: Cold Water in Cup," "Mantle Simulation: Cardboard," and "Plate Interaction Animations."
While it may not always seem possible, Earth is continually changing. Students gain insight into geological processes such as the formation of land, erosion, and volcanic eruptions. Other Earth processes are also investigated.
Volcanoes and earthquakes! Geysers and boiling mud! Natural forces like these have been working for millions of years, changing the surface of the earth. Examines the layers of earth, a history of continental drift, plate tectonics, and other phenomena at work on our planet.
How can individuals help protect the environment? This program explores a wide variety of practical, easy-to-accomplish tasks individuals can do to make Earth a healthier place. Pollution prevention, natural resource use, and recycling are some of the key ideas highlighted.
This segment is all about climate and the role of water and wind. Climate is the statistics of weather over long periods of time. Other topics covered include atmosphere, oceans, and weather. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
Uses trilobite fossils as an example to illustrate the challenges scientists face in understanding the prehistoric world and its place in time. Examines fossil sites in Australia, discusses how fossils are formed, and tells how a fossil's world is recreated.
What is a seismic wave? Which of the four types is most destructive? Discover the science behind earthquakes with this animated video.
Developed by the American Geosciences Institute, this segment provides an essential and well-tested tool for teaching and learning about the planet. Eight different scientists describe their field work and geoscience research. Part of the "Visions of Earth" series.
Do the continents move? In this segment, students learn the relationship between a molten core, plate tectonics, and continental drift. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
This segment investigates the geosphere and its components, including plate tectonics, surface processes, and the rock cycle. It also discusses how geoscientists collect evidence to study past, present, and future changes by using computer-based technologies that model and monitor Earth’s systems and processes. Part of the "Visions of Earth" series.
In this segment, students learn all about different types of energy found on Earth. Solar energy comes from the sun, and geothermal energy is generated and stored in the earth. Students also discuss these forms of energy and how the energy of the earth transfers heat through the convection process. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
Drawing upon the American Geological Institute's huge geoscientific archive of information, this segment explores the hydrosphere and the atmosphere. It also covers their formation and components, the water cycle, geological evidence of past climate change, extreme weather, and the future of the fluid spheres. Part of the "Visions of Earth" series.
Plate tectonics describes the large-scale motion of large and small plates of the earth's lithosphere. As the plates slide past one another, they create friction and heat. The tension caused by the friction of heat is released either through earthquakes or volcanoes. Part of the "Earth Science" series.
