Weathering Animation: physical and chemical mechanisms explained and illustrated
Sedimentary Rocks Animation: from depositional environments to texture and composition
Groundwater Animation: with seasonally fluctuating ground water levels
River Flood Animation: with watersheds, discharge, hydrographs, and flood control methods
Mass Movement Animation: covering mechanisms and an interactive landslide game
Glacier Animation: accumulation, ablation, and glacial landscape evolution
Shorelines Animation: coastal erosion, longshore drift, engineering methods (from www.ck12.org)

These modules were originally developed by Smoothstone (RIP) for Houghton Mifflin Company.
