excellent animation of how subduction can cause a tsunami
Dozens of bodies were yesterday taken by truck to the Apia morgue from coastal villages such as Poutasi and Saleapaga
This quick tutorial explains how you can create a Google Tour yourself, and hopefully upload it here. :) As an example, we will create a tour of the capital cities of my country, Australia.
UUorld (pronounced "world") provides an immersive mapping environment, high-quality data, and critical analysis tools.
Great explanations are unfortunately scarce, but UUorld makes them easier to achieve through interactive four-dimensional maps. Our solution has three simple parts:
Draw on extensive, organized data.
Explore and grasp complex patterns through intuitive visual analytics.
Deliver new insight with compelling images and video.
We think you'll find four-dimensional mapping delivers results because the medium exposes the spatial and temporal context inherent to nearly all data.
articles, maps and other resources about the history of Wisconsin's land. Examples: how the Winnebago watershed was formed, climate changes leave some communities under water and others high and dry.
This is a great resource for learning about WI geology.

This animation shows a side view of an area where a river flows into a lake. As flowing water enters the lake, its velocity decreases. The water's ability to carry sediments also decreases. Sediments carried by the stream are deposited where the slowing water can no longer move them. The largest sediments are deposited near the shore. Increasingly smaller sediments settle out farther from the shore where the water is calmer.
Sediments become sedimentary rocks when they are cemented together. Dissolved minerals carried by water are deposited between grains, forming a natural cement that holds the sediments togethe
This series of images shows the demise of Jump-off Joe, a sea stack at Nye Beach, near Newport, Oregon. Sea stacks begin as part of a headland or sea cliff. Relentless pounding by waves erodes the softer, weaker parts of the rock first, leaving harder, more resistant rock behind. It took over 100 years to erode this sea stack to sa
A powerful earthquake caused major damage in Italy on April 6, 2009. Attached are news stories, pictures and video about that event.
The earthquake that struck San Francisco on April 18, 1906 remains one of the strongest and most significant earthquakes in US history. The fire that developed in its aftermath brought the city to its knees. This collection presents links to images, films, panoramas and animations about the earthquake and fire. Even more information can be found at sites like the USGS 1906 San Francisco Quake site and the 1906 Earthquake Centennial Alliance.
