What's Beneath Your Plane?
As Shane Loeffler, a geology student at the University of Minnesota, was flying home from
Europe, he looked down at the landscape and began to wonder what he was flying over.
He realized that a plane flight would be a good opportunity for people to learn about the
geological features of the earth below them. As a result of this experience, with a grant
from the National Science Foundation, he created a free app called Flyover Country. The
app provides users with information on natural formations, man-made features like dams,
and even where fossils can be found. The features are pinpointed on a map that
corresponds to the landscape below the plane.
What is the main idea of the passage?
Shane Loeffler's experience in a plane led him to create an app that would
provide information to flyers about the land below them.
Shane Loeffler's plane flight home from Europe led him to think about the
geological features of the land below him.
