The Wearing Away of the Land (1939)

1939 · Ephemeral film · 10 min

Synopsis

Shows the ways in which natural forces such as rain, glaciers, wind, and the ocean, erode the land. "How rocks are decomposed; how caves and sink holes are made; how glaciers are formed and the work they do; how blowing sand erodes the surface of the earth; and how the waves are reshaping the coast line. The geological facts are illustrated with scenes taken all over the world." (Educational Film Guide, 1951).
