I chose the South American Physical map. I was really looking for more historical satellite maps--to show the loss of vegetation in the rain forest in the past 30 years--the kind that EROS near Sioux Falls used to take pictures of. I did not find that but I did find a link to the Christian Science Monitor from 2000:
Atlantic Forest in More Peril than Amazon. This is similar to what I was thinking. I think any student or teacher who needs geographic or political information, as well as wanting to know about anything related to the physicality of the land would be interested in this site.
Shario, great idea. Here's a tip: try going into Maps and type rain forest in the search box. I think you will get something close to what you want. You can search any term in maps (earthquakes, tornadoes, whatever) and get a visual. There are many creative uses for maps. One science teacher is using US Outline Map and having her students draw in weather patterns. The US Historical maps contain Revolutionary & Civil War battlefield maps, and World Historical maps contain WWI & WWII maps, fyi.
