Planet Earth Site



Good links here for various parts of your course eg here is a link in Europe to some amazing and spectacular photography of the Alps. There is also a lot for Biology, so I’m sure you can make good use of this site. You need to ensure you pc can cope with the video however and can download the necessary software from here also.

Look in South America similar quality for Angel Falls – the world highest waterfall.
Here is the Blue Nile Gorge formation footage from the film of the flood.
This film shows the Arctic’s 24hrs of daylight and the impact it has on wildlife. Lovely footage of Death Valley in North America blooming with colour after the rains. Also in the Deserts section is some stunning camera work of the mesas and buttes of Utah’s canyonlands. You can also see a clip of the saguaro cactus and hear how it stores water.
The power of erosion is see in South America if you look at the kukenon tepuis. There is a wikipedia link here to explain what these are. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tepui
