Links for Visual Learners

Many of us learn in different ways.  These links are to either animations or visualizations dealing with Earth Science concepts.  If you are having trouble picturing an idea - see if any of these help! NOTE:  Some of these animations are only available if you use the textbook with which they are associated.  Please respect the rights of others!
