Take a tour of the moon's surface. Images and topographic maps show craters, rocks, mountains, basins, and valleys found on the moon. These maps help improve scientific understanding of how Earth's moon and other rocky planets in the solar system evolved.
Earth's landscape has a wide variety of physical features referred to as landforms. Characteristics of the major landforms are illustrated with footage from North America, including the Grand Canyon, Interior Plains, and the Rocky Mountains. Important terminology includes plain, relief, interior plain, coastal plain, plateau, mountain, hill, valley, canyon, beach, dune, sea cliff, sea stack, ocean, lake, bay, river, and creek.
Debris flows are hazardous flows of rock, sediment, and water that surge down mountain slopes and into adjacent valleys. Hydrologist Richard Iverson describes the nature of debris-flow research and explains how debris flow experiments are conducted at the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Debris Flow Flume in Oregon.
Offers a look at what kind of information satellites provide about our world. Satellite imagery has multiple uses: showing crops and pests, monitoring weather in all its forms, following forest fires and air pollutants, and more. Imagery notes climate changes, the ozone layer, and temperature of many things--all designed to predict and protect. These sensors present unusual windows to our world.
The geology of the Great Plains is a product of long periods of sedimentary buildup followed by equally long periods of erosion. The result today is a dramatic landscape of bluffs, pinnacles and badlands that contain the rich story, of ancient sea creatures, dinosaurs and long extinct, giant land mammals. The Agate Fossil Beds is a landscape that reflects many influences from early animals roaming the valleys and hills to tribal nations they call the High Plains home. Explorers passing through or settling the American West also have a part in the story.
The first in a series of five documentaries plots the course of the river, from its source to its delta. In a succession of spectacular images we see the extraordinary geographical route that the Mekong takes, from the Tibetan plateau, down the mountains of the Yunnan Province in China, then through the tropical valleys and virgin forests of Burma, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand before reaching the green plains of Vietnam. In the tropical forest, nature abounds with wild animal species, rare plants and flowers. In Laos', whole villages still pray to the Gods of Trees while in Thailand a hunter shows how the hunting of Asian elephants for preservation, now forbidden, was practiced.
