Title Description

Like a window into another world, "Historical Geology: A Glimpse of the Earth's Past" briefly explores the Earth's 4.6 billion year history of life, land, and climate. Using an interactive learning format, information about each eon, era, and period of the geologic time scale are covered based on the perspective of current scientific thought. Live video, graphics, and fossils tell the never-ending story of plate movement, mountain formation, climatic changes, ancient life forms, extinction, and present day life forms.
