Includes 2 CD-ROMS:  From lighting to locusts, fires to floods, increase your understanding of the planet's raw power with Forces of Nature on CD-ROM. Packed with a wealth of interactive multimedia features, this software program is specifically designed to enlighten, astound, and explain to the user the complexities of natural forces at work on planet Earth. With text and graphics ready for printing and copying, hundreds of high-resolution, full-screen videos and photos, speedy text-search options, and a host of virtual experiments and simulations illustrating various natural phenomena, Forces of Nature is a compelling educational force all it own.

Includes:

Astronomical Forces:

Including an exploration ranging from tiny space particles burning up in Earth's atmosphere, to mammoth celestial bodies penetrating the ozone to wreak havoc on structures and terrain.

Biological Forces:

Including an examination of migratory locusts, a destructive force first described in the Old Testament. Measuring mere inches, this pest regularly devastates huge land regions around the globe, causing famine and subsequent death to millions worldwide.

Drought:

A searing inquiry into the phenomenon producing parched landscapes and arid fields from previously fertile agricultural tracts, leaving crop failure and starvation in its wake.

Earthquakes:

A comprehensive investigation into the cause and ramifications of these powerful forces, from ancient beliefs that their raw energy came from displeased gods and idols, to contemporary geological evidence of bedrock and fault lines.

Fires:

An enlightening look at that which many consider the most destructive natural force of all, but which proves to be an essential ecological factor in the growth and rejuvenation of a global ecosystem.

Floods:

A constant threat to some, a freak inland occurrence to others, floods assume the role of both feared killer and topographical sculptor, transporting nutrients to farms on one side of the world, as they wash away structures and livelihoods on another.

Snow and Ice:

An interactive exploration of phenomena ranging from blinding blizzards grinding modern metropolises to a halt, to great powder avalanches of loose snow traveling at more than 200 miles per hour.

Storms and Thunderstorms:

Including a multimedia exploration of the capricious nature and destructive intensity of hurricanes, as well as the complexities of lightning and thunderstorms.

Volcanoes:

An inquiry into the potent forces, both cataclysmic and restorative, of underground thermal activity.

System Requirements:

  • Windows 98/2000/NT/Me/XP
  • 180 MB free hard disk space
  • 16-bit color video card
