	CONTENT: The Virtual Cave affords students the opportunity to explore underground caves without leaving their classrooms.
	AESTHETICS: The dark background and light colored text work well with the great photos and diagrams.
	ORGANIZATION: The content is organized into four main areas that are accessed from the main page of the site. All pages link back to the homepage.
	REVIEW: "This site tells the story of caves in words and pictures: what's in them and how it got there." Students have the opportunity to examine the caves virtually using the diagrams. Each of the four underground areas; Solution Caves, Lava Tube Caves, Sea Caves, and Erosional Caves can be explored through the interactive diagrams. By clicking on the imagemap users are taken deeper into the cave for exploring specific formations or parts through photos of the real thing. There is also a hyperlinked list of terms as an alternative for the imagemaps. Email: virtcave@goodearthgraphics.com
