Explore the living planet beneath your feet. From shifting tectonic plates and violent earthquakes to swirling weather systems, erupting volcanoes, and the forces shaping our climate.
Earthquakes happening right now around the world, streamed live from USGS seismic monitoring stations.
Explore how Earth's crustal plates interact. Create mountains, trigger earthquakes, and watch continents drift.
Real-time wind patterns, temperature, pressure, and precipitation data visualized on an interactive globe.
See how greenhouse gases trap heat. Adjust CO2, methane, and see temperature changes across thousands of years.
The forces that shape rock, build mountains, and reshape the surface of our planet.
Broad, gently sloping volcanoes formed by low-viscosity lava flows. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the largest shield volcano on Earth, rising over 9 km from the ocean floor.
Steep, cone-shaped stratovolcanoes built by alternating lava flows and explosive eruptions. Mt. Fuji, Mt. Vesuvius, and Mt. Rainier are classic examples of this dangerous type.
Rocks are continuously transformed between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic forms. Heat, pressure, weathering, and melting drive this cycle over millions of years.
Wind, water, ice, and biological activity slowly break down rock and transport sediment. The Grand Canyon is a dramatic 1.8-billion-year record of erosion carving through geological time.
India-specific earth science resources from government agencies and space organizations.
Weather forecasts, cyclone tracking, monsoon predictions, and historical climate data for all of India. Operational since 1875.
ISRO's Earth observation platform. Access satellite imagery, land use maps, flood monitoring, and environmental datasets from Indian satellites.
India sits at the junction of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates. The network monitors seismic activity across 5 seismic zones, from the Himalayas to the Deccan Plateau.
