This site is fascinating. Explore the horrific amount of space junk around our planet or track satellites.
A superb database! Also pretty horrendous.

Lovely animation for those teaching the atmosphere. Helps to visualise angle of rays in relation to the Earth's orbit, explain seasons and energy surplus/deficit.

Clach Thoull is a raised sea arch at Port Appin. Formed when the power of the sea carved into a downward fault plane in the headland, it was subsequently raised by post-glacial isostatic uplift.

Bit of shameless promotion which does however show the huge potential of templates available for students to use on Canva.

Fluvioglacial features of Glenmore, Cairngorms. Stunning An Lochan Uaine (Green Loch) is an esker dammed lake. Green colour is caused by fairies washing clothes say locals. Alternatively it's tree reflection or algae. Esker is marked on photo.

One of the unusual sights in the Ojców National Park in Poland. When this area was part of the Russian Empire, the Tsar decreed there should be no sacred buildings built on this land. This was circumvented by building this chapel over water. #geographyteacher #Geography #Ojców

Great use of GIS and if you live in Edinburgh very useful for being informed about local planning applications.

Over the past few decades, magnetic north has been moving at extraordinary rates.

But what does this mean for those who use magnetic navigation systems?

BGS' Ciaran Beggan explains in the new issue of Geoscientist magazine, out today.

My first, very basic (don't laugh - more practice required) 🤣🤣 animation using @FlipaClip. It is pretty straightforward to use and clearly has huge potential as a teaching aid, or a great activity for any landscape feature formation lessons.
