Presents the findings of the European Geotraverse (EGT), which is a unique study of the tectonic evolution of the European continent and the first comprehensive cross-section of the continental lithosphere....
Shows how the Richter scale is used to describe the strength of seismic activity, and how seismic waves originate from a focus to travel through the earth’s crust. Discusses plate tectonics and their...
Seven activities designed as science learning resources: 1-3) Journey to the Centre of the Earth: three linked activities relating to seismic waves and the information they provide about the earth. One can...
Introduces the outcrop geology of the Oman ophiolite. An ophiolite complex is the rock succession created at oceanic spreading ridge, for example at the midi-Atlantic ridge now. Rarely in geological history...
Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey are conducting the most comprehensive study ever attempted of a little-known group of volcanic islands in the South Atlantic. These remote islands lie 2000km...
Illustrates meteorite research, including an appraisal of Halley’s Comet; meteorite collecting in the Antarctic; the OU research related to the origin of SNC meteorites which have possibly come from Mars;...
Looks at the attempts of scientists to figure out why the earth, a warm place for 200 million years, started to cool, until ice sheets covered Europe and North America to a depth of a mile. They have found...
Explores a sequence of space missions that have gradually revealed the surface of Venus, which lies unseen beneath dense cloud cover. Uses evidence from Soviet landers, the altimetric maps of the US Pioneer...
Covers many aspects of earthquakes: plate tectonics, the San Andreas fault, earthquake mechanics, seismographs, P and S waves, seismic velocity changes, tiltmeters, ground elevation, water wells, strange...
Shows experiments made at the University of London’s Royal Holloway and Bedford New College in order to uderstand the processes that produce the complex and varied patterns of faulting and folding...
