Why Land Goes Up and Down002533,VH VHS video11 min JI 2004 0435 NoDupLand around us is rarely flat. As it stretches acrossmountains, valleys, canyons, plateaus and otherlandforms it goes up and down, up and down.This program looks at the two processes mostresponsible for carving our landscape - uplifting anderosion. It explains how tremendous heat from thecentre of Earth powers the building of mountainsand plateaus by moving plates and pushing upbulges in the crust. Similarly, the show examineshow the forces of erosion – especially movingwater and its associate, gravity – work equallyhard to reduce uplifted crust to sediments and flatland. The effect of glaciers is also touched upon.After watching this program, students will betterunderstand why, in terms of land, what goes up mustcome down.
