This is a publish from my archives that matches with the theme of Geography Awareness Week.
This morning I responded to a Tweet from somebody who was in search of “plate tectonics digital experiences for college students.” My thoughts instantly went to utilizing Google Earth. A fast search in my archives and I discovered this lesson plan calling for utilizing Google Earth to show plate tectonics and I discovered this Google Map full of placemarks containing questions on plate tectonics. I knew that I might discover extra Google Earth information associated to plate tectonics if I simply spent a couple of minutes looking out.
Instead of simply opening Google Earth and looking for excursions about or associated to plate tectonics I went to Google and searched in keeping with file kind. The file varieties supported in Google Earth and KML and KMZ, however KML is extra generally used. So to conduct the search I entered plate tectonics filetype:kml You may also accomplish the identical factor by opening the superior search menu in Google and deciding on KML from the filetype menu. In the video that’s embedded beneath I show each strategies of trying to find Google Earth information.
