In this video Paul Andersen explains how humans are impacting the Earth through farming, mining, pollution and climate change. According to the NGSS wise management can reduce impacts on the planet. This will become more important as...

Dive into the concept of the geosphere, the fundamental component of Earth's systems. Learn about its composition, role in shaping the planet's surface, and its interconnectedness with other Earth spheres.



Earth's Materials...

Climate scientists have been monitoring Earth's energy budget since the 1978 launch of NASA's Nimbus-7 satellite. That mission carried a new instrument into space called the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (or ERBE), designed to...

Did you know SciShow has a whole channel dedicated solely to space? Well, we hope you packed warm, cause we’re taking you on a tour through the solar system with these SciShow Space episodes!

This video explores how different parts of Earth including the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact with one another. Students then use this knowledge to develop their own models that illustrate how various parts of...

There's two times more carbon in the earth's soil than in all of its vegetation and the atmosphere -- combined. Biogeochemist Asmeret Asefaw Berhe dives into the science of soil and shares how we could use its awesome carbon-trapping...

The Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk, or GOLD, instrument launches aboard a commercial communications satellite in January 2018 to inspect the dynamic intermingling of space and Earth’s uppermost atmosphere. Together,...

Earth's energy budget is a metaphor for the delicate equilibrium between energy received from the Sun versus energy radiated back out in to space. Research into precise details of Earth's energy budget is vital for...

This video will explain the interconnected cycles of Earth—lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere—and how they work together.

Explanation: Over the past century, humans have accelerated the use of natural resources such as fossil fuels, old growth forests and groundwater. This has warmed the ocean and atmosphere, changed their chemistry and caused...

Explore how individuals, communities, and nations are taking action to mitigate their impact on the environment. From international treaties like the Montreal Protocol to local initiatives like tree planting and recycling, learn how...

Explore how chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) impact the ozone layer, which acts as the Earth's natural sunscreen by absorbing harmful ultraviolet rays. Understand the environmental consequences of ozone depletion, including...

Learn about earth's 4 major geological subsystems and how they interact with one another with this fun educational music video and parents. Brought to you by KLT. Don't forget to sing along.

Students will learn about the different layers of the atmosphere. The changes in the atmosphere are explained using examples of contemporary environmental conditions brought about by human behavior. The oxygen cycle and the carbon cycle...

Our rocky planet Earth is wrapped up in a gaseous blanket, known as the atmosphere. It’s this atmosphere that we can thank for all the life on earth. In fact, it is the only planet in our solar system with an atmosphere that can sustain...

What causes different kinds of weather? What is wind and where does it come from? How can pressure systems help us predict the weather? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Understanding weather systems is the key to reliable...

Learn the planet Earth song with the Planet Earth Song by the KLT

Chief Scientist of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Dr. Jim Garvin, takes us on a journey to Mercury, Venus, Earth, the moon, near-Earth objects, and Mars. Why does space matter? Why is exploring the inner solar system so crucial?...

People the world over are feeling, or soon will feel, the effects of the strongest El Niño event since 1997-98, currently unfolding in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. New satellite observations are beginning to show scientists...

every minute, 400 pounds of hydrogen and almost 7 pounds of helium escape from earth's atmosphere into outer space. Astrophysicist Anjali Tripathi studies the phenomenon of atmospheric escape, and in this fascinating and accessible talk,...

Phil starts the planet-by-planet tour of the solar system right here at home, Earth.

Earth has some new orbiters, and while one of them is vexing many scientists, another will help us learn more about our atmosphere.

In this video Paul Andersen describes the four major spheres on planet Earth. The geosphere makes up the mass of the planet and includes the major landforms. The hydrosphere is all of the water and the atmosphere is all of the gases. ...

Water covers over 70% of the Earth, cycling from the oceans and rivers to the clouds and back again. It even makes up about 60% of our bodies. But in the rest of the solar system, liquid water is almost impossible to find. So how did our...
