Earth Science

This Earth science textbook surveys Earth as an interconnected system, covering minerals, rocks, plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes, oceans, water resources, deserts, and glaciers. It places Earth processes in geologic time and extends to the atmosphere, weather, climate change, astronomy, stellar evolution, and the solar system, emphasizing the dynamic interactions shaping our planet and its environment.
