Marble is a digital atlas. It provides the physical geography of the Earth. It does not provide the political geography (with political borders dividing the continents into countries etc).
Objectives
- Understanding how the interactive environment of Marble, as a digital atlas
- Playing with the features to explore and learn
- Explore Geography concepts with Geogebra
Activities
- You can see the Earth as a 3-D model and explore different maps provided. You can open the "Atlas" map to see the different continents and oceans. You can rotate the Earth to see the entire globe. You can simulate the rotation of the earth by moving the Globe from left (west) to right (east). You can use the mouse to increase the zoom to see a place in more detail. You can move the Atlas to see India and increase the zoom to see the cities and towns in Telangana. Pick up any country of your choice. Try to move the Atlas to locate that region (though you will not see the country name, you can locate the cities and towns, rivers and mountains of that region).
- You can
