This CD-ROM gives an insight into the remarkable variety of the Earth's landforms, with each chapter using different multimedia techniques to demonstrate aspects of surface formation. Beginning with plate tectonics, numerous photos document the individual landscapes and their origin, while an animated model illustrates how the changes take place, and, in a separate chapter, numerous movies introduce the most interesting landscapes of the American West Coast nia). The built-in "navigator" allows movement within the application from one chapter to another without loss of orientation.
