NEW AUDIO VISUAL ACQUISITIONS (Cont'd)

Reefs: Past to Present:

The program follows geologists as they piece together
evidence concerning an area that was a barrier reef 230 million
years ago, but is now an arid region. Microscopic analysis,
topographic maps and cross-sectional drawings assist in under-
standing the origins of the reef and its importance as a source
of oil and gas reserves.

Plate Tectonics: A Revolution in Earth Sciences:

The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain some of
the most violent activities on the earth's surface. This
program uses animation and visits to sites such as the Alps
and active volcano areas to explain the theory of plate
tectonics and shows how scientists measure the actual move-
ment of the earth's surface.

The Alps: Part One:

The Alps provide dramatic examples of structural
geology. This program concentrates on the Helvetic Alps
to show the process involved in field observations as geolo-
gists piece together the complicated structure of the region.
