Good, but not well emphasized in parts. You drew it your self, I assume. It is certainly good art.

These pictures were amazing and very helpful! I am in eighth grade and I am studying diverging continental plates. We are doing a report on the geographical results of the plates, which is a rift valley. This provided an interesting view of the rift valley and a very awesome visual! Thanks a ton, Miranda &lt;3

I also came to this site through a Knowledge News link. I&#39;ve been to Olduvai Gorge and experienced it&#39;s brutal heat and harsh terrain. This website offers a wonderful view of the region that can only be seen from satellite imagery. This website is great, very user friendly, and offers fatastic images.
