Understanding Earth's Systems

Earth is broken down into four systems: atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. These systems are all interconnected and help provide balance on Earth and in Earth’s ecosystems. Readers will learn about cycles associated with each system and how they benefit Earth. These books also discuss how people interact with each system and how human activities can negatively impact these systems. Full-color photographs and relevant captions help readers make connections between the main text and images.
