Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Preserving Water Sources

Preserving Water SourcesWater is one of the most important resources on Earth. We use it daily to drink, cook, clean, grow food, and have fun. But clean water isn’t unlimited. Only a small amount of the water on Earth is fresh and safe to use, so it’s super important to take care of it. Preserving water resources means protecting rivers, lakes, and groundwater from pollution and not wasting water. Learning to use water wisely helps people understand how to care for their environment and...
Water Cycle01:26

Water Cycle

Water Cycle The water cycle describes how water continuously moves through the Earth's atmosphere, surface, and underground layers. This process includes evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, and runoff. The sun drives the cycle by providing energy for evaporation, while gravity moves water through systems and returns it to bodies of water. The water cycle is essential for replenishing freshwater sources, supporting ecosystems, and regulating climate. Scientists can better...
