The second unit, "The Atmosphere," covers meteorology, weather prediction, and the various factors influencing Earth's atmosphere and climate. The third unit, "The Lithosphere," delves into geology, discussing rocks, minerals, mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, and the processes that shape the Earth's surface. The fourth unit, "The Hydrosphere," examines the oceans, seafloor topography, glaciers, and groundwater systems.
