A student's reasonable misconception is compared to the current scientific consensus in interpreting the evidence for the formation of the Himalayas. View Video
Students in Mashpee, Massachusetts create a model of the ground water systems in Cape Cod. View Video
By following sediments moved from the mountains to the sea, a mountain stream illustrates the process of erosion. View Video
Part 1 of a three-part investigation into the sediments revealed at the ocean shore in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. View Video
Part 2 of a three-part investigation: ice flowing in the form of mountain glaciers is an important source of erosion in colder climates. View Video
Part 3 of a three-part investigation: over several episodes ending about 18,000 years ago, continental glaciers formed over much of North America. View Video
A rock outcrop on Lake Champlain has two adjacent rock sections: one horizontal, one vertical. Keith Klepeis investigates a potential cause. View Video
Keith Klepeis looks for possible sources of heat and pressure that could have deformed the outcropping at Clay Point in this continuing investigation. View Video
Mountains are shaped by forces from below (plate tectonics) and forces at the surface (erosion). View Video
Two continental plates collide, creating heat and pressure that bend rock and create mountain ranges. View Video
The Appalachian Mountains are compared to the much higher, but younger, Himalayas. View Video
Sediment on a beach contributes to the vast continental shelf offshore over time, but this does not explain where the sediment came from. View Video
