Explore the Planets Version 2 by Dr. G. Jeffry Taylor

By: G. Jeffrey Taylor

This ISBN is a Multi-User License for schools. Explore the Planets takes you on an illustrated tour of our solar system. In addition to viewing the fascinating landscapes of Earth and other worlds, you'll study the processes that sculpt them: volcanism, impact cratering, faulting and folding, landslides, water processes, and work done by the wind. You will study the planets the way planetary scientists do, by comparing, for example, why some volcanoes on Mars are so much larger than their counterparts on Earth. Discover why impact craters are so widespread. See the record of vast floods on Mars. Look closely at the swirling atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn, and the surfaces of their icy satellites. This updated CD-ROM is fully narrated and contains new data and images from recent discoveries and missions into space. The program aids learning with scored review questions, a visual index, an illustrated glossary, colorful animations, video clips, and an updated planet database. Most exciting of all, you'll put your knowledge of the planets and their processes to the test as you pilot your own spaceship through the solar system to identify its planetary bodies in a race against the clock.
