Applied Physical Geography by Robert W Christopherson
This spiral-bound geography lab manual contains 21 lab exercises that are divided into logical sections. Each exercise comes with a list of key terms and learning concepts. Integrated into all of the exercises are links to Google Earth KMZ files available at www.mygeoscienceplace.com, allowing students to experience and manipulate topographic maps in digital elevation mode relief as they work through problems. This revised edition comes with updated shaded relief topographic maps to view with stereolenses, a revised chapter on geographic information systems that contains online activities that allow students to use ArcGISExplorer, and updated Google Earth (TM) activities. An answer key is available for teachers to download from www.pearsonhighered.com/irc.
