Norton Resource Library


This site features 34 short animations about various earth science topics. Animations are divided into six categories including the earth in space, earth materials, tectonic activity, geologic history and time, earth resources, and processes and problems at Earth's surface. Topics range broadly and include everything from the formation of the solar system to sea floor spreading to mineral growth to glaciology. Using a code, teachers may link to individual animations from their own web pages so that their students can view them in context.
