Student CD-ROM and Web Site
Developed specifically for Earth: Portrait of a Planet, Second Edition, this free online study guide offers materials that reinforce core concepts from the text and animations to help students visualize dynamic processes. The CD-ROM version of this resource can be packaged with new books purchased from W.W. Norton. It includes:
- Review Materials—Chapter overviews, vocabulary flashcards, and multiple-choice quizzes help students get the most from their reading assignments. A new grade book utility makes it easy for instructors to collect scores from website quiz assignments.
- Animations—Over sixty animations developed by Stephen Marshak, half of them new to this edition, emphasize plate tectonics, geologic hazards, and earth systems science. Many of the new animations are based on the "What a Geologist Sees" art from the text. View a list of all animations.
- Media Archive— New to this edition, the media archive augments our collection of original animations with links to video and animation from USGS, NASA, and other outside sources.
- Earth Science News— Weekly updates feature news about geologic events, recent advances, and contemporary environmental issues.
