This website, created and maintained by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, contains an interactive map containing climate information for each state. Users can click on states and find information and data for every county in every state. Data includes daily mean temperature, frost free days, growing season, and monthly temperature and precipitation. Users may also download data from this ... Full description.

This USGS report presents an overview of the interactions between ground water and surface water in a variety of terrains. It serves as a general educational document with the intention of helping agencies understand the basic science involved in the management and protection of aquifers and watersheds. The report describes the natural processes of ground water and surface water interactions and the ... Full description.

This site contains a variety of plate tectonic animations, paleogeographic reconstructions, and paleoclimate animations. Each animation is viewable from the web page, and has accompanying text that explains the events portrayed. Examples include the formation of the ocean basins, the assembly and breakup of Pangaea, and the collision of India and Asia. Full description.

This site features a series of four Macromedia Flash animations. These simulations illustrate the formation of basic geologic structures, including normal faults, thrust faults, strike-slip faults and various styles of folds. The animations were designed to complement the chapter on geologic structures in "Physical Geology" by Plummer, McGeary and Carlson. Full description.

This website, from the 1998 PBS "Savage Earth" series, shows seismic waves from an earthquake that took place in Bolivia in 1994. The animation illustrates the way the earth's surface, core/mantle boundary and inner/outer core boundary reflect and deflect P- and S-waves. Full description.

This resource is a printable 2 degree equal angle stereonet in PDF format. Full description.

This collection of remote sensing animations, images and videos produced primarily from satellite data and computer simulations can be accessed through five different indexes, organized by keyword, instrument, series, scientist, animator, or ID number. The visualizations illustrate not only natural events and processes such as hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, glaciations, global climate change and ... Full description.

This site provides a point and click interface to a growing archive of educational materials including animations, images and text derived from public domain Earth science data sets and environmental research conducted at the University of Washington. The Catalog also contains a tool for building custom presentations. Curricula may be designed around a particular topic by using the Presentation Tool ... Full description.

CARBONATE 3D reproduces and predicts 3-dimensional stratigraphic geometries and facies in carbonate and mixed carbonate siliciclastic depositional environments. It forward models sedimentary processes over geologic time. Modeled processes include carbonate platform rim and interior production, basinal sediment production, siliciclastic input, subaerial dissolution and erosion, transport and redeposition ...

The NOAA Paleoclimatology World Data Center (WDC) Pollen Viewer is an interactive animation that allows the user to see spatial distribution changes in 50 North American pollen taxa from 21,000 years BP to present. The user can choose pollen type, request Latin or common name, display sites, reverse animation and compare images. There is also a link to the paper: Late Quaternary vegetation dynamics ...
