Create kml files for Google Earth based on information from the CIA factbook.
Comparing population growth, or the percent of people below the poverty line is as easy as seeing the difference in height and color of the nations outlines. Each country produces a 3D outline that is raised or lowered depending on the data being compared. Highly useful for secondary Social Studies or Economics classes, these visual tools can be downloaded as a KML file and then opened up locally in Google Earth on your computer, or just viewed on the web. Clicking on the individual countries flags pulls up all of the information that the CIA Factbook contains about that country, so you still have access to the written data.
