Earth Science: The World Below
Grades: All
The Earth's crust may seem stationary and rock-steady, but it is always in motion. In this lesson learn about Earth's geology. Scientists have studied earthquakes, volcanoes and other seismic activity to develop theories that explain the movement and deformation of the Earth's crust over millions of years.

What Causes Seasons on Earth?

Grades: All
Can you guess how the globe will look 100 million years from now? Continents formed as Earth's crustal plates shifted and collided over millions of years. This video shows how today's continents evolved over the last 600 million years, and where they'll end up in the next 100 million years.

Where Did the Moon Come From?
Grades: All
A lunar scientist explores how the Moon was created, and its relationship with Earth. The debris from a cataclysmic collision of another planet on Earth created what is now our moon, just 14,000 miles from Earth, the closest it has ever been.

Inside the Earth
Grades: All
The presentation takes a look inside our planet Earth to display crust, mantle, outer and inner core.
