Mantle convection The slow circulation of hot rock in Earth's mantle that drives plate movement and geological activity.
Seismic waves Energy waves generated by earthquakes that travel through Earth and provide information about its internal structure.
Carbon cycle The movement of carbon through Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.
Biogeochemical cycles The pathways by which chemical elements move through living and non-living components of Earth's systems.
Hydrologic cycle The continuous movement of water through Earth's atmosphere, surface, and subsurface.
Rock cycle The continuous process by which rocks are formed, altered, and recycled through geological processes.
Coevolution The process by which Earth's systems and life have influenced each other's development over geological time.
Geoscience Data Analysis The process of interpreting and analyzing data related to Earth's physical characteristics, environments, and processes.
Feedback Mechanisms (Loops) Processes that can either amplify (positive feedback) or diminish (negative feedback) the effects of changes in Earth's systems.
Human Impact The effect of human activities on the environment, including pollution, deforestation, and climate change.
Earth's Interior The innermost layers of the Earth, consisting of the crust, mantle, and core, which are studied to understand geological processes.
Plate Tectonics A scientific theory explaining the movement of Earth's lithosphere which is divided into sections that can move, fault, and fold.
Role of Water in Earth's Surface Shaping includes weathering, erosion, and deposition, all factors that influence landscape and geological features.
Earth's Systems The interrelated components of the Earth, including the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.
