Earth: The Nature of Our Planet

From birds to the most minute lifeforms, the atmosphere is home to a myriad of creatures. But it doesn't just support life - it can also kill.

The destructive forces below ground are also a source of new life. Our planet's landmasses harbour an invisible treasure that benefits a particularly successful group of organisms - plants.

The oceans act as a driving force for local weather phenomena and global climate change. They also provide a habitat for a countless variety of species.
