Synopsis

Earth's surface is moulded by the movement of liquid water (rivers and streams) and solid water (glaciers) over the landscape. Discover how water moves beneath the surface and how this groundwater constitutes an important freshwater reservoir for terrestrial life. Conduct your own environmental assessment to locate a source of pollution. Discover how scientists measure the slow movement of glaciers. Learn how and why hurricanes form over warm oceanic waters and how hurricanes threaten coastal environments. Join scientists chasing tornadoes to learn more about another deadly weather phenomenon. Explore the vertical structure of the atmosphere and discover how heat from the Sun causes air to rise and why moisture condenses to form clouds. Fire a virtual cannon to discover how the Earth's rotation gives rise to the Coriolis effect. Discover the principles of weather forecasting; observe global weather patterns from the vantage point of a weather satellite, and even build your own weather station from common household components.
