Question: Mr Manuel wants to use Google Earth to enhance his geography lessons. Which activities could he use with his students to understand the earth’s geographical form?
- Have students to mark the geographical locations of the world's largest volcanoes
- Zoom into street view in real time to see live camera feed in a desired location
- Compare the terrain and elevation between different locations
- Run simulations to show how islands are impacted by tsunamis
Explanation
Google Earth supports marking real-world locations with placemarks, making it suitable for identifying volcano locations on a map. The tool also supports terrain-based exploration, including elevation and distance along paths. Comparing terrain and elevation helps connect landforms to physical geography. These activities use Google Earth’s geographic visualization features rather than simulated events.
Why the other options are incorrect
Street View is incorrect because it shows imagery, not a real-time live camera feed.
Tsunami simulations is incorrect because Google Earth is used for geographic visualization, not running natural-disaster impact simulations.
