Influence of the sun on deep-sea animals

Normally, animals remain loyal to their habitat once they have conquered it. But not in the oceans. Every night after sunset, the largest animal migration on the planet begins around the globe. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Group 5 Film Production/Tamar Baumgarten/Scope VFX/Maximilian Mohr Translation and d

This influences the cardiac output

Cardiac output is the amount of blood that the heart pumps into the bloodstream within a given time. It can be improved with regular exercise. An efficient heart muscle beats as steadily as possible. Authors: ZDF/3sat/nano/Südkino F i l m p r o d u k t i o n GmbH/Berndt Welz/Hannah Dewies/Tim Spra

Influence of UV radiation on skin colors

The global distribution of human skin tones matches the intensity of UV radiation. At the equator, where radiation is highest, dark skin protects against radiation damage. In the north, on the other hand, lighter skin is beneficial. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Tobias Schultes/Albrecht M. Wendlandt Transla

Influence of melting ice on forest fire hazard

Melting ice in the Arctic is causing a rising wildfire risk in western North America. White ice reflects sunlight back into space. If it diminishes, the heat remains in the air layers and favors hot, dry weather. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Nathan Niemeier/Martin Schaaf Translation and dubbing: alugha Cl

Earth System: El Nino's Influence on Hurricane Formation

Warm water fuels the tropical storms that ultimately form hurricanes. In this video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, learn how El Niño events—climatic anomalies that occur periodically in the Pacific Ocean—alter the course of atmospheric circulation and lessen hurricane forma

The Ocean: A Driving Force for Weather and Climate

Learn how the ocean relates to weather and climate in this video from NASA. Uneven heating from the Sun drives ocean and atmospheric circulation. Animations and satellite data show how ocean currents and eddies distribute energy and nutrients around the world. Heat exchanges between the ocean and th

Earth's Cryosphere: Antarctica

NASA satellite imagery provides an overview of the cryosphere in the Antarctic. Learn about Antarctic features such as clouds, glaciers, ice streams, ice shelves, and icebergs. In addition, explore how rising temperatures affect the region, for example by increasing the number of meltwater ponds, wh

The Coriolis Effect Due to Earth's Rotation

Learn how Earth’s rotation causes the Coriolis effect, with this video from NOVA. Use this resource to visualize the abstract concept of the Coriolis effect and to provide opportunities for students to use evidence to support a claim about the influence of the Coriolis effect on hurricanes, jet stre
