The Dimensions of the Planet. Maps and Navigation. Matter and Minerals. Mineral Identification. The Formation of Rocks. Earth's Natural Resources. Plate Tectonics. Earthquakes. Volcanoes. Landscapes. Weathering and Soils. Erosion and Deposition. Earth's Rivers. Groundwater on Earth. The Work of Glaciers. The Restless Oceans. Earth's History. Geologic Time. Charateristics of Earth's Atmosphere. Atmospheric Moisture. Air Pressure and Winds. Evolution of the Atmosphere. Storms. Patterns of Climate. Stars and the Universe. The Solar System. Earth and It's Moon. Each chapter was easy to understand and fun to read. The author did a wonderful job of presenting our planet!
