PBS Savage Earth: The Restless Planet
"PBS brings science to life with the use of Flash animations and QuickTime video to explain the how and why of earthquakes. If a still picture is worth a thousand words, how is movie worth? Plenty, because this concise site (only five pages in total) sure explains a lot. Beyond the primary article, three sidebars cover learning from earthquakes, predicting quakes, and engineering quake-resistant buildings. Other chapters at Restless Planet explore volcanos and tsunamis."

Luray Caverns
"On August 13, 1878, one of nature’s most spectacular creations was uncovered: Luray Caverns. From a small draft of air, three local townsmen — Benton Stebbins, Billy Campbell, and Andrew Campbell — found what had taken 400 million years to create. It was a cavern that covered over 64 acres and descended 164 feet below the earth’s surface. Now, with this beautifully designed site, the joy of discovery is yours. Best clicks are Time Line (a history of the caverns) and Discovery (a narrative peppered with quiz questions and interactive Shockwave experiments.)"

Kentucky Caverns
"The process of forming caves in soluble rock is very slow. It all begins with rain. As rain falls through the atmosphere, it absorbs a small amount of carbon dioxide. It gathers additional carbon dioxide as it moves through the soil. Water mixed with carbon dioxide is weak carbonic acid solution. As this solution of water and carbon dioxide seeps through the cracks and crevices, it dissolves the soluble rock and forms cavities and channels as it moves downward and laterally. After thousands of years of solution, underground rooms and chambers can be formed. This informative site has not-to-be-missed sections on Cave Formation, Cave Ecology and Student Activities."
