ReviewsReadability and organization of the text, provides a thorough introduction to earth system science topics. The text is visually appealing., The connection of biology and physical processes. The text is easy to understand, has great summary review questions, excellent format and allows students to grasp earth science., Enjoyed the narrative way the book was written, liked how this project focused on Earth Systems, does not cram too much information/page, use of photos, graphs, charts, etc. to teach from, excellent artwork, graphs are clean and neat and photos are up-to-date., PrefaceUNIT 1: The Foundation of ScienceChapter 1: Technology, Science, and Scientific MeasurementChapter 2: Matter and EnergyUNIT 2: The ExosphereChapter 3: The Earth as a PlanetChapter 4: The Moon, Earths Closest NeighborChapter 5: The Life of StarsChapter 6: The Solar System and its Place in the UniverseUNIT 3: The LithosphereChapter 7: The Earths InteriorChapter 8: Plate TectonicsChapter 9: Earthquakes and VolcanoesChapter 10: Minerals, Rocks and Mineral ResourcesChapter 11: Weathering, Erosion, and DepositionChapter 12: SoilsChapter 13: The Earths Geologic HistoryUNIT 4: The AtmosphereChapter 14: Structure and Composition of the AtmosphereChapter 15: InsolationChapter 16: Atmospheric Temperature and PressureChapter 17: Humidity, Clouds, and PrecipitationChapter 18: Wind, Air Masses, and FrontsChapter 19: Storms and Weather ForecastingChapter 20: Global Climate ChangeChapter 21: Acid Precipitation and DepositionChapter 22: Ozone DepletionUNIT 5: The HydrosphereChapter 23: Earth, the Water PlanetChapter 24: The Hydrologic CycleChapter 25: OceanographyChapter 26: Fresh Surface Water and GroundwaterChapter 27: GlaciersChapter 28: Pollution of the HydrosphereChapter 29: El Nino and the Southern OscillationChapter 30: Coral BleachingUNIT 6: The BiosphereChapter 31: Ecological SystemsChapter 32: World Biomes and Marine EcosystemsChapter 33: The Flow of Energy and Matter Through EcosystemsChapter 34: Biological SuccessionChapter 35: Classification of the Living WorldGlossaryIndex

Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisScience of Earth Systems, second sdition is designed to introduce the new scientific discipline of Earth System Science to secondary school students., Science of Earth Systems, Second Edition is designed to introduce the new scientific discipline of Earth System Science to secondary school students. This new area of collaborative research is a combination of all the scientific disciplines into one body of knowledge. This book brings together in one volume, the interactions that occur in the living and nonliving world. Whether learners are studying the earth sciences, agriculture, earth system science, or environmental science, this book provides an understanding of the physical and biological processes that exist on our planet. Science of Earth Systems introduces the processes that occur on our Earth by dividing the planet into five unique spheres: the exosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Together these five spheres cover all the principal interactions between the Earth's physical and biological properties that make our planet unique. An overview of all of the principle physical, chemical, and biological systems that occur on the Earth, and how they are altered by human activity is included. Science of Earth Systems was written to meet the National Science Education Standards developed by the National Academy of Sciences for the Earth and Space Sciences, and can be easily aligned with Earth Science-related standards and curriculum taught throughout the United States
