Various types of earth terrains and elements are explored such as plains, plateaus, mountains, rocks, volcanoes, mountains, lakes, continents, and ocean basins.
Subsequent chapters discuss topics like salinity, groundwater and Karst topography, sea waves, coastal landforms, ocean currents and tides, ocean deposits, coral reefs, and the hydrosphere. The last few chapters of the book explore topics such as air pressure, atmospheric circulation, cyclones, biosphere, ecology, ecosystem, biomes, and flora and fauna.
