Main Ideas Section 1: The Earth Inside and Out The earth is the only habitable planet in the sun s solar system. The drifting of the continents shaped the world we live in today. Section : Bodies of Water and Landforms Water covers about three-fourths of the earth s surface. The earth s surface displays a variety of landforms. continued...
Main Ideas Section 3: Internal Forces Shaping the Earth Internal forces reshape the earth s surface. Internal forces shaping the earth often radically alter the lives of people. Section 4: External Forces Shaping the Earth Wind, heat, cold, glaciers, rivers, and floods alter the surface of the earth. The results of weathering and erosion change the way humans interact with the environment.

Summary The Earth Inside and Out The earth s interior is made up of a series of layers that float on one another. The exterior of the earth is the crust. The presence of air and water make life on earth possible. continued...
Summary Bodies of Water and Landforms Almost three-fourths of the earth is covered with water. The hydrologic cycle circulates water. Landforms on the land and under the ocean are similar. continued...
Summary Internal Forces Shaping the Earth Huge lithospheric plates on the earth s crust move because of the circulation of magma. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the results of plate movement. continued...
Summary External Forces Shaping the Earth Weathering and erosion cause changes in the earth s surface and build soil. Actions of wind, water, ice, and gravity shape the earth s surface.
