Students
will
utilize
the
Internet
to
take
a
virtual
field
trip
to
visit
a
glacier
and
discover
what
physical
effects
glaciers
have
on
the
land.
They
will
also
have
the
opportunity
to
virtually
visit
Vermont
and
trace
the
pictorial
history
of
how
a
whale's
fossils
were
found
there.
The
site
also
contains
a

Researchers
have
identified
approximately
140
individual
impact
craters
on
Earth.
These
craters
probably
represent
only
about
25
percent
of
those
to
be
found.
Assuming
an
equal
rate
of
impact
around
the
globe,
many
more
craters
remain
to
be
discovered,
particularly
in
remote
land
regions
of
our
planet
and
in
the
oceans.
This
activity
uses
satellite
images
of
several
craters
on
the
earth
to
study
impact

This
booklet
provides
a
brief
introduction
to
the
concept
of
plate
tectonics

The
PALEOMAP
Project
illustrates
the
plate
tectonic
development
of
the
ocean
basins
and
continents,
as
well
as
the
changing
distribution
of
land
and
sea
during
the
past
1100
million
years.
The
reconstruction
of
paleoclimates
is
also
discussed.
Maps
are
viewed
as
animations
where
the
time
component
can
be
user-manipulated.
Included
are
a
variety
of
background
materials
which
supplement
the
animations.
