PHYSICAL SYSTEMS

While we exert an influence over our planet, the surface of Earth is constantly being modified and reshaped by geologic forces such as volcanic activity, earthquakes, and other physical processes such as weather and erosion. In this program, students will explore the nature of our planet’s four main physical systems—the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere—and discover that what happens in one system has vast repercussions on the others.
