This 26-part 13-hour videotape series presents a comprehensive study of the Earth's physical processes and properties, with emphasis on understanding the scientific theories behind the geological principles. These principles are vividly documented with the assistance of on-location footage at major geological sites around the world. Presented are both the dramatic forcesvolcanic activity and earthquakesas well as the more subtle and ever-present elements of the geological process. Earth Revealed: Introductory Geology also illuminates the often unrealized link between human activity and geological change.
