"What's along the coast?"
"How does geography influence people and places? Discover how natural features such as coastlines shape architecture, jobs, and communities."

Google Mars to teach Earth landforms?

http://www.google.com/mars/
Using Google Mars use information and video from the Google Mars site to compare similar physical features found on Earth with those on Mars: Regions, mountains, canyons, dunes,plains, ridges, and craters...




-Also on the sight, see history of all the satellites, probes, landers, and their locations on Mars as well as stories discussing the formation or reason for some of the physical features.
