One of the major objectives of geology is to establish the history of theEarthfrom its inception to the present. The most important evidence from which geologic history can beinferredis provided by the geometric relationships of rocks with respect to each other, particularly layered rocks, orstrata...
Earth: surface compositionPercentage of Earth's surface devoted to various land and water features.(more) Earth’s outermost, rigid, rocky layer is called the crust. It is composed of low-density, easily melted rocks; the continental crust is predominantly granitic rock (see granite), while ...
JGR: Earth Surface publishes original research articles on the physical, chemical and biological processes that affect the form and function of the surface of the solid Earth over all temporal and spatial scales.
Surface modeling began to be used in the 1960s, with the general availability of computers (Lo and Yeung, 2002), but because it requires powerful software and a large amount of spatially explicit data, its development was limited before the 1990s. The major advances that enabled the use of ...

ArcticDEM is a digital surface model (DSM) that portrays first-return elevation values that include vegetation, tree canopy, buildings, and other man-made surface features. The 2m asset is a collection of strips rather than a single mosaic due to projection differences between strips. ...
The evolution of the human living environment on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and its influence on human activities is a major scientific issue of multidisciplinary interest. Based on published research on past environmental changes on the TP, we synthesize changes in landscape and other environmental co...
Earth Divided into Two Major Systems Some scientists organized of the parts of the Earth can be divided into two main systems. These two systems include all the organic and inorganic matter of the world. Every living and non-living thing on Earth falls under one of these two main spheres wh...
