MiKids: A Day in the Life of a Geologist |
Do you want to become a scientists? Check out this Web
site at MiKids. See what a geologist does every hour
of his/her day. |
|
CNN: Layers of the Earth |
This site is a wonderful resource to learn about the layers
of the earth. Students can manipulate a drill and see
what scientists believe to be the make up of each of Earth's
layers. |
|
Essentials of Geology |
This site is models all of the major concepts in chapter 1
& 2 in your science textbooks. Explore the theory of plate
tectonics through animations demonstrating continental
drift, sea-floor spreading, plate boundaries, and much, much
more. |
|
NeMo Explorer |
Pillow lava is something that geologists have not been able
to directly observe at the mid-ocean ridge. This Web
site allows you to see the next best thing, pillow lava from
a volcanic eruption in Hawaii. |
|
Exploratorium: Fault Lines |
To learn all you need to know about
earthquakes, visit this Web site. Information can be
found on topics such as plate tectonics, faults, major
earthquakes in history, and the science around predicting
earthquakes. |
|
IRIS: Fault Motion Animation |
This Web site has three basic animations that demonstrate
the three types of faults, strike-slip, normal, and reverse
faults. There are also basic explanations of the three
types of faults. |
|
USGS: Virtual Tour of
the San Andreas Fault |
This virtual tour of the San Andreas fault
in California gives actual footage of this active fault.
With a mouse you can zoom in and see inside the fault.
If move the mouse upward the footage will progress along the
fault. |
|
Seismic Waves |
View the three different types waves that
occur during an earthquake in a 3D animation. See how
P waves compress and expand, S waves moving side to side and
up and down, and a combination of both when surface waves
occur. |

|
USGS Geology |
Rocks are all around us. They make up the backbones of hills
and mountains and the foundations of plains and valleys.
Beneath the soil you walk on and the deep layers of soft mud
that cover the ocean basins is a basement of hard rock. |
|
British Isles Geology Toolkit |
This site is a great tool for introducing the three types of
rocks, explaining how each is formed. Through the
interactive content students can explore deep inside Earth's
surface all the way to the surface. |
|
Interactives: Rock Cycle |
A useful way to illustrate how the three main types of rock
are related to one another and how changes to rocks happen
in a recurring sequence is the rock cycle. |
|
Exploring Earth: Interactive Rock Cycle Animation |
The cutaway view of Earth shows where some common
rock-forming processes occur. Embedded animations will
illustrate the path of a rock moving through the rock cycle. |
|
Physical Geology Animations |
Interactive Flash animations and exercises
for Physical Geology class. Suitable for a review or
overview of these topics: Groundwater, Metamorphic Rocks,
Igneous Rocks, Plate Tectonics, Rock Cycle, Earth Structure,
Weathering, Sedimentary Rocks, Minerals, Faults and Folds,
Mass Movement, Floods, Glaciers, and Shores. |
