A comparison of maps…• Viewing these maps in a way that allows for
rapid switching between maps highlights the interaction of Earth systems.
• As you view the set of maps, consider the interaction of Earth systems. How does one system influence another? Watch the Snake River Plain (the U shaped feature largely in Idaho) as you switch between maps. What do you see? Can you find other features that seem to appear across multiple maps?
