System Earth
How Does Our Home Planet Work?
Our Earth is not a static celestial body, but a system full of interactions. Driven by heat flows within the Earth, continents shift, mountains rise, volcanoes form, and oceans open and close again. These processes shape not only landscapes, but also the development of life – and vice versa: living organisms alter the climate, the atmosphere, and even rocks.
