Materials including carbon, water, and nutrients cycle through many compartments around the globe. Climate change has altered some of these cycles.

Top layers of the Earth's atmosphere leading to space. Atmospheric gases scatter blue light more than other wavelengths, giving Earth a blue halo when seen from space.
