This
site
provides
visual
resources
that
illustrate
the
process
of
chemical
weathering.
Animations
demonstrate
how
temperature
and
precipitation
affect
the
evolution
of
parent
material
from
highly
resistant
primary
minerals
to
both
secondary
minerals
and
minerals
in
solution,
as
well
as
showing
rates
of
weathering
of
various
common
minerals.

This
site
provides
a
variety
of
visual
resources
about
waterfalls.
Flash
animations
show
how
waterfalls,
plunge
pools
and
gorges
are
created
by
the
erosion
of
underlying
rock
by
flowing
water.
A
QuickTime
movie
gives
examples
of
large-scale
waterfalls
from
around
the
world,
and
an
interactive
diagram
illustrates
how
falling
water
is
used
to
generate
hydroelectric
power.
