tectonic model

Get a closer look at the tectonic plate map superimposed over the world map and find out more history on nations that are known for their geography due to the plates. 

map scaling

Estimate the distances between the two cities that appear on the map using the ruler (which is positioned at the same angle of the two cities).

KINDS OF CLOUDS

There are 3 main kinds of clouds: Cumulus, Stratus, and Cirrus. Cumulus clouds are the fluffy clouds that look like cotton balls. Stratus clouds are layered and often dark and close to the ground. Fog comes from Stratus clouds being very low to the ground. Cirrus clouds are thin and feathery. When you see Cirrus clouds that means the weather is usually nice. These clouds are opposite of Stratus clouds because they are really high up in the sky.
