Geo basics

Takes a close look at how conditions combine to create climate and weather.

"Air and water pollution, the effects of pollution on health and the environment, deforestation and loss of wetlands, ozone depletion and global warming, and the negative impact of agriculture, construction, and recreation/tourism are discussed. The program ends with anti-pollution initiatives like recycling and greater energy efficiency"--Container.

Discusses the formation, uses and impact of fossil fuels and development of alternative resources including nuclear power, solar energy, biomass, geothermal energy, hydroelectric power, and wind power.

This video introduces students to the Earth system's primary interacting subsystems (the biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere); the nitrogen, carbon, and water cycles; and three surface processes: weathering, mass-wasting, and erosion. The greenhouse effect, the impact of acid rain on the environment, and diminishing freshwater resources around the world are considered as well.
