This site, which reviews basic geography facts, was developed in partnership with the U.S. Geological Survey, the Department of the Interior, Pittsford Central Schools, and the U.S. Department of Education. Some of the animations and title graphics take a while to load, but they are worth the wait. The site is organized into topical sections.
Users can move between sections by using the left-side menu.
Each section lists links in outline format. Have your students learn or practice basic geography skills at Maps and Globes. The site offers the sections Land Forms, Water Forms, The Earth, Climate, Time, and Maps. Each topic also includes a project page, where students will find links to related interactive activities. Visitors will also find an online glossary.
