This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.

This digital GLOBE Earth system (digital) poster images show global visualizations of different science variables for 2019, 2018, 2016, and 2013.  Students may use these images to find patterns among different environmental data, understand the relationships among different environmental parameters, and more. 

NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.

The activities in this guide will help students understand variations in environmental parameters by examining connections among different phenomena measured on local, regional and global scales.
