Encounter Earth gives you a new, well-organized way to visualize key topics, helping you find Google Earth(t) locations for assignments created. Here's how it works: Each of 20 Explorations consists of a worksheet and a .KMZ file. The worksheets, available in the workbook or as PDFs, guide you through activities and ask for feedback. The .KMZ files, designed to be read by the Google Earth(t) application, contains placemarks, overlays, and annotations referred to in the worksheets. Worksheets are printed in a paperback supplement that also includes an access code to the Encounter Earth website. The supplement is perforated for homework assignments. It's the ideal companion to your introductory geoscience course.
