My Adventures with Google Earth

     This week i created contour lines on Google Earth for my Environmental Science class. Google Earth intrigues me every time i open the application. Before i began creating contour lines, i looked at my family's houses in Gwinnett and in Panama City Beach. I really enjoyed playing around, i probably could have spent hours looking at places around the earth, but i needed to get to work.
     I choose Stone Mountain to do my contour lines. As a kid, i used to love Stone Mountain. Just like with my houses, it was really neat to see the satellite image of Stone Mountain. It is amazing how you can zoom in and see the small details of the mountain. Since Stone Mountain is not as tall as other mountains, my increments of contour lines were smaller. My increments were 1,000, 1,100, 1,200, 1,300 and 1,400 feet. The most difficult part of this exercise was getting all my lines to be exactly the height it needed to be. I ended creating a decent set of contour lines (as you can see below).
