Introduction:<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the geography courses I am fortunate to teach uses a blended physical and human geography framework. The first several weeks of the year, the course entails why geography is important along with physical Earth observations and understandings. The first physical Earth lessons deal with landforms and the inner Earth\/ outer Earth processes that form them. This June I converted many of the files from geteach.com<\/a> to kml\/Google Earth. Below are the maps sets used in class to visualize these Earth processes\u2026+ a bonus Google Earth\/kml file to help teach and\/or review plate tectonics.<\/em><\/p>\n

The pedagogical formula follows the working definition of geography taught to me from Brock Brown PhD.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGeography is a perspective\u2026the geographical perspective provides a broadly applicable interdisciplinary method of observing and analyzing anything distributed across Earth\u2019s space.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
