The book includes coverage of discoveries on Europa and Ganymede, and the possibility of bacteria on Mars, along with discussions of Cretaceous-Tertiary extinctions. There is an emphasis on Earth as a system, and the role of ocean-atmosphere system and global climate.

There are two major pathways for the flow of energy and matter on Earth: (1) the hydrologic system―the circulation of water over Earth's surface and through its atmosphere powered by energy from the Sun, and (2) the tectonic system―the movement of material powered by heat from Earth's interior. These two unifying themes form the backbone of Earth's Dynamic Systems, providing a logical, well-crafted, spectacularly illustrated introduction to physical geology.
NEW TO THIS EDITION:GeoLogic―Geologists have a unique way of reading the landscape and rocks. These essays illustrate in words and images how modern geologists interpret the world around us.
Updated and Enhanced Student CD-ROM: Includes dozens of high-quality animations, photographs, and videos.
