Ákos Kereszturi

Range of surface landforms have been discovered recently by various space missions. Volcanoes, river channels, polar ice caps, dunes and fallen boulders are present on several planets and moons among others. Their comparative evaluation could fit into the education of geography and environmental topics for secondary school students. We developed several examples how properly collected and arranged images help to discover and understand origins and processes beyond the Earth, what also helps to show the general existence of the same physical lows across the Universe.
