The Multimedia Discovery Missions collection is a series of 13 interactive presentations and activities that introduce young geologists and oceanographers to fundamental concepts involving the Earth’s crust and ocean sea life. Benthos, ocean currents, hydrothermal vents, waves, tides, hurricanes, and seamounts are just a few of the topics kids investigate.
