THREE HANDS-ON OPTIONS TO HELP YOUR STUDENTS LEARN NEW Guided Learning Explorations are carefully scaffolded online exercises that ask students to engage in increasingly applied ways with geoscience topics. Smartwork5offers a broader, more customisable selection of questions that coach students. You can turn on pre-made assignments with one click or fully customise each assignment. Geotours exercises use Google Earth to explore and help students interpret real world sites. Use these activities separately or together. THE MOST VIBRANT ART AND VISUAL MEDIA BUILDS UNDERSTANDING The Sixth Edition features stunning new and revised art in every chapter, employing Marshak’s signature approach of “step-by-step” breakdowns of important processes. You’ll also find an extensive suite of animations and interactive simulations (including 10 new topics); narrative art videos (authored and narrated by Marshak himself) and over 100 NEW real-world videos. All of which build directly on the art in the text to give students the most cohesive learning experience. THE MOST CURRENT TEXT, EMPHASISING RELEVANCE TO STUDENT’S LIVES The Sixth Edition spotlights recent geologic events and the most up-to-date research throughout, helping students connect geologic processes to the world around them. This includes natural disasters that have impacted many students and the communities in which they live. Many of the “Consider This” boxes throughout the text examine the connection between geologic concepts and societal impacts and the author begins most chapters with a real-world story.
