I learned a lot in this about Google Earth in this Unit. I discovered the Look function on Google Earth, which I thought was a really interesting way to look around. It gives you a sense of the shape and proximity of neighboring counties, cities, and states from a static perspective.
I also found the Ruler function interesting and did not know that existed. I also did not know that you could explore Mars, the Moon, the Sky, or use a flight simulator (really fun).
Turning on and off the 3D layer gives you a good indication of the difference between the satellite imagery and what can be done on top of that by applying 3D information gathered from aerial photography and remote sensing. The 3D layer is the necessary cherry on top for satellite imagery because it allows you to explore the topography of the natural and urban landscapes.
The Tour Guide function is also very interesting and fun to use. These are where you will find the highest resolution and most detailed application of the 3D layer.
And this is all just the tip of the iceberg...
