MEGAQUAKE: HOUR THAT SHOOK JAPAN

Chronicles the 9.0 magnitude earthquake that struck northeast Japan on March 11, 2011, and the tsunami that followed, sharing the untold stories of survivors in Tokyo and Otsushi. Poignant testimonies and remarkable footage captured that day will reveal what happened in those crucial moments following the quake as a tsunami barreled toward land at 500 miles per hour. The program also examines other earthquake zones around the Pacific Ring of Fire and considers the likelihood of a major earthquake striking North America.

HAITI'S KILLER QUAKE: WHY IT HAPPENED

The magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, was the strongest to hit the island in over two centuries. The program delves deep into the key questions that scientists are racing to answer: Why did the quake happen now? Could it have been predicted? And when and where might the next "big one" strike? Geologist Roger Bilham of the University of Colorado travels to Haiti to explore the enormous forces that caused this disaster. He explains how Haiti's location between two tectonic plates heightens its risk for additional earthquakes and how seismologists are working to predict the next hotspot.

PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, THE: EARTHQUAKES AND HOW THEY ARE MEASURED

Take a look at how earthquakes are measured in this excellent program. Seismologists from the National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colorado show how earthquake epicenters are located. You will observe an actual earthquake being captured and the measurement scales, both Mercalli, and Richter are explained. You will also see an example of triangulation in capturing earthquake data.

HIDDEN FURY: THE NEW MADRID EARTHQUAKE ZONE

The danger posed by the New Madrid earthquake zone along the Mississippi River.

The New Madrid earthquake zone, located along the Mississippi River near Memphis, Tennessee, has received little attention in recent years. But in 1811 it was the site of the most powerful series of earthquakes ever known on earth. Some two million square miles were affected, and shocks were felt as far away as Montreal, Canada-1,200 miles from the epicenter.

According to experts, another major earthquake will likely occur in the New Madrid Earthquake Zone in the next 50 years. With the aid of computer graphics, the geologic characteristics of the region and the tectonic nature of earthquakes are explained. Additionally, the relatively stable region of the central United States is compared to the well-known seismicity of California. This is a fascinating science adventure that, for many people, will hit very close to home.

Reviews
  • "Interesting, easy to follow, full of good information, and well illustrated with high-quality computer graphics and live-action footage-effective in any historical geology or tectonics class to show how the understanding of ancient tectonic history can elucidate issues that face modern society." -5 Stars Journal of Geological Education

  • "Smoothly edited into a vibrant, coherent, accessible whole with an excellent balance of interviews to visuals. Highly recommended for classroom use in earth science courses and for the general public." -4 Stars Video Rating Guide

  • "Explains the geologic origins of earthquakes, cites the difficulties of predicting action along the New Madrid Fault, and calmly alerts viewers to a hidden threat." - Booklist

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has concluded that the "Big One" will be the worst disaster in the United States since the Civil War. Damage from an earthquake is wide spread, devastating to industry, to our complex roadways and to some large public buildings. Are you prepared for an emergency? This program is called "Emergency Preparedness At Home" and it will save lives and prevent injuries if the steps within the program are followed. The life you save may be your own or that of a family member. The most crucial element in surviving any type of natural disaster is preparing for the emergency. This program will instruct you in life safety and life sustaining actions before, during, and following an earthquake.

    Topics included in this safety video are: safety measures during the earthquake, aftershocks, fires, gas leaks or fire hazards, downed power lines, water supplies, battery operated radios, barbecues, hibachis, camping stoves, or fireplaces, main shut off valve for gas, turn off electricity, gas, and water at main switch and valves, water heaters cabinets, and flammable liquids.
