Face of the Earth
Face of the Earth explores the origin of our planet's outer layer, the why-and-how of its mobility. Through the use of well-designed diagrams, the earth's cyclical activity is clearly explained. Some unusual footage on volcanoes gives added punch to an already absorbing subject.

Face of the Earth illuminates theories about the earth’s origin and internal structures which lead to an understanding of the physical processes that create landforms. This film enhances understanding of the earth’s internal structure and its components, as well as the formations that make up its surface. Tectonic forces of folding, faulting and volcanic activity are shown in animated demonstrations of land formations.
