Summary

Portrays, by animation and photography of real and contrived situations, the forces that have created the present condition of the earth's surface. Presents the theory of the creation of the earth from cosmic dust, and pictures the turbulent processes that preceded the cooling of the surface. Illustrates the two opposing geologic forces--those that wear down and those that build up the earth's surface--and shows some of the results of these forces in the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon, and Bryce Canyon.
