EarthCache
An EarthCache is a type of virtual geocache that focuses on geological features and education. Instead of finding a physical container, participants visit a specific location where they learn about the geology, soil, rock formations, or other natural elements of the area. To log a discovery, individuals typically answer questions related to the site's geologic significance. EarthCaches promote environmental awareness and scientific understanding while encouraging outdoor exploration and adventure, blending the fun of geocaching with real-world learning about Earth’s processes and formations.
