Delve beneath the surface of the Earth with this pictorial atlas and discover the secrets of our planet.

From oceans to ice regions to deserts, this book takes you on a trip around Earth's features, explaining how they formed and what impact they have on us even today, supporting life and literally shaping the world with every tectonic movement.
