Measuring Craters on Earth - booklet version
Activity1 - using Google Earth to measure craters
In this activity you will be measuring craters of different sizes on Earth which are the result of an impact from space.
The impacts causing these craters would result in a variety of climatic changes - small impacts would generally affect only the local area, whereas larger impacts could have massive changes in the global weather systems. To begin, download Google Earth, then follow the instructions.
