The book sheds light on various aspects of the environment and its dynamics, with dedicated chapters that provide a comprehensive overview of the two main sections.
The Physical Geography section deals with topics that span the planets various topographies like the Earths Crust, Weathering, Mass Movement and Groundwater; Landforms of Glaciation, The Ocean, Lakes, Coastal Landforms, etc.
Each chapter has a questions section to help readers evaluate their understanding of the subject explained in that chapter. Various illustrations and photographs enhance the text, to enable all students to easily understand the concepts.
Part two of the book, The Weather, Climate and Vegetation section, covers subjects like different climates and climatic zones like Equatorial, Savanna, Tropical or Arctic climates.
