The Second Edition of the Geotours Workbook has been revised from cover to cover. New features include: UPDATED MATERIALS FOR GOOGLE EARTH PRO Google Earth Pro is now free, and the Geotours Workbook incorporates many of its powerful features. STREAMLINED, EASIER-TO-USE INTERFACE The accompanying digital Google Earth file has been redesigned and reorganised to be much more intuitive. And because this preloaded file is arranged by topic, it is easy for you to align Geotours assignments with a wide range of course curriculums. Or you can use the file to feature spectacular geological examples and to stimulate discussion during lecture. EXPANDED GEOTOURS LIBRARY INCLUDES MORE GEOGRAPHICALLY DIVERSE LOCATIONS The Geotours library has been greatly expanded to include over 450 Geotour preloaded sites for the entire workbook, including many international examples. NEW AND REVISED GEOTOURS WORKSHEETS AND QUESTIONS The thoughtful selection of new sites and new applied problems throughout the various worksheet topics engage students in making observations and measurements that deepen their understanding of important concepts from their course and textbook. Selected new problems include questions about: The life of a star (including what will eventually happen to our Sun) and the scale of our solar system (Earth & Sky) Where rare earth minerals used in many consumer electronics are found and mined and how such activities cause environmental problems as well as regional conflicts (Minerals) Calculating the location and magnitude of an earthquake from seismograms (Earthquakes) Why sea level is rising along many coastlines around the world, but not all (Global Change)
