Assist your pupils and broaden their horizons with several activities that determine the exact positioning of various communities over the globe. Pupils use data from the Global Positioning System to determine the position and rate of...

Young geologists piece together the puzzle of plate tectonics in an earth science lesson. Given a physical map of the world, they search for land formations that indicate the location of different types of plate boundaries.

Every year, more than 14 billion pounds of garbage is dumped into the oceans of the world, most of which is plastic and toxic to ocean life. Lesson 32 in the series of 36 focuses on environmental concerns, specifically pollution. Under...

This resource describes how the mechanical properties of the lithosphere and asthenosphere change as the temperature and pressure increase. This can cause rocks to flow and become plastic-like.

The plate tectonics and other features of the Earth's lithosphere are explained and illustrated. Has links to definitions of the magnetosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.

At this site from the NASA Classroom of the Future, you can learn about the many different layers of the earth and see what the earth would look like cut in half.

As part of the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, this site examines a variety of topics related to the Earth. This page looks at the Earth and its lithosphere, the chemical composition of the Earth, the structure of the Earth, and more.

An in-depth look at the structure and composition of Earth's mantle, with lots of visuals. Covers lithosphere, Mohorovicic discontinuity, asthenosphere, transition zone, lower mantle, the d double-prime region, mantle convection, mantle...

Article explaining the importance of carbon as the basis for life, carbon dioxide's role in photosynthesis and respiration, carbon in the ocean and lithosphere, the impact of human activities on the carbon cycle, carbon that seems to be...

This is a website not only on the mantle but also about all the layers of the earth.

This is a website to learn not only about the inner and outer core, but also about the crust and the mantle of the interior of the earth.

Explains what the four spheres of the Earth are, and the interactions between them.

Get the full picture of what soil is offered by Geography4Kids.

Visit this site to learn more about the different types of plate boundaries. Includes color pictures and easy-to-understand examples of how and why plates move the way they do.

An overview of the impact of human activities on the environment and how those actions effect the nitrogen cycle.

Explains what the four spheres of the Earth are and describes how volcanic eruptions affect the different spheres. Also provides a list of events that are examples of interactions.

Describes Earth's layers, which make up the geosphere.

Learn about the systems that make up Earth, and find out how they interact.

Plate Tectonics provides geology with a comprehensive theory that explains how the Earth works.

This comprehensive study guide covers the main terms and concepts needed for an earth science unit on the earth's tectonic plates. Review questions are included at the bottom of the study guide.

This comprehensive study guide covers the main terms and concepts needed for an earth science unit on the earth's interior. Review questions are included at the bottom of the study guide.

Discover why earthquakes happen, how we measure them, and why they only happen on Earth.

Get a general grasp on the four spheres, five sub-fields, and two scales of physical geography.

Learn about various rock types and the rock cycle.
