Geology of the United States
At last!
Geology videos which look at the various geologic and physiographic areas of the United States. Our cameras have traveled to specific regions. We've talked with geologists, glaciologists and seismologists. We show the student an overview of that state and look at some to the geologic forces which have shaped that area. We'll look at the fossil life which once lived there and examine its rock and mineral resources. We'll show the geology or earth science student how a particular area changed over millions of years. Through exciting live action video, graphics, diagrams, geologic and topographic maps and stimulating computer animation, we'll make Geology in America come alive. Explore wetlands, the Great Lakes, big rivers, glaciers, canyons, national parks, volcanoes, oceans, science museums, and spectacular geology in this unique and exclusive educational series.
The Geology of the United States
This is a brief overview of the entire United States and investigates its principle landforms, its scientist regions called physiographic provinces and its most important geological and physical features. This would be an excellent introduction to geology as well as geography. From New England to the American Southwest, from Alaska and Hawaii to the Mississippi Delta and the stable interior of the continent, this video is a perfect introduction to the earth sciences.

Trilobites:
Early Inhabitant of the Earth
Many strange creatures have inhabited the land in the United States in the past and have left their fossil remains entombed in the rocks that underlie us especially in the prairie lands. This video explores the Trilobite, an extinct marine (sea) arthropod that is distantly related to living crabs, lobsters and crayfish. See where and how they once lived; investigate their anatomy and see why and how they were buried and turned into fossils. Because of their unusual and interesting appearance trilobites are among the fossils most sought after for collection and study.
