Neat Images for Our Changing Earth

The Virtual Cave
Spectacular photography and thumbnail explanations of mineral deposits unique to the cave environment.

Earth Cams
This site from the Discovery Channel compiles links for web cams aimed at earth-related features. Most geology moves too slowly for live-action to be useful, but check out the links to the cameras near live volcanoes (Italy, Japan, and Hawaii). The availability of cameras will change, so be sure to return if there's an active event such as an explosive eruption, a landslide, or earthquake activity because someone is almost guaranteed to aim a camera at it.

San Francisco Bay Area with Fault Lines
Satellite images (urban areas are gray- white) detail the locations of faults with easy-to-see red lines. Be sure to view some of the close-up images. It could be interesting to have students notice how the topography aligns with the faults.
