Geography and Geology Animations

3D geologic map gallery QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) movies of classic geologic maps draped over digital topography. Each movie consists of a 3D perspective of the map area that the user can rotate using the mouse to view the area from any direction

Coriolis effect An object in motion on the Earth's surface always appears to be deflected away from its course. This effect is a result of the Earth's rotation, and is called the Coriolis effect

Coriolis effect Coriolis effect animation

Coriolis effect over Earth's surface Observe an animation of the Coriolis effect over Earth's surface

Coriolis force This animation demonstrates the Coriolis force acting on a plane moving from the North Pole toward the equator, and it also depicts the Coriolis force acting on a plane flying from west to east
