• The Atmosphere (2003)

  Composition diagram showing the evolution/cycles of various elements in Earth’s atmosphere. Original subscript: Schematic of chemical and transport processes related to atmospheric composition. These processes link the atmosphere with other components of the Earth system, including the oceans, land, and terrestrial and marine plants and animals. Author: Phillipe Rekacewicz

• The Nitrogen Cycle

  The diagram shows the storage and exchange of nitrogen between the atmosphere and the biosphere, highlighting the role of bacteria. The atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen. Author: Environmental Protection Agency employee

• The Greenhouse Effect

  This figure is a simplified, schematic representation of the flows of energy between space, the atmosphere, and the Earth’s surface, and shows how these flows combine to trap heat near the surface and create the greenhouse effect. Energy exchanges are expressed in watts per square meter (W/m2). Data is from 2007 CERES satellite instruments. Year 2021 update (not in diagram): Net absorbed energy (shown as 0.6) rose to above 1.0 W/m2 based on independent CERES and ocean heat content measur...

• The Carbon Cycle (2008)

  This carbon cycle diagram shows the storage and annual exchange of carbon between the atmosphere, hydrosphere (oceans) and geosphere (land) in gigatons - or billions of tons - of Carbon (GtC). Burning fossil fuels by people adds about 5.5 GtC of carbon per year into the atmosphere. Author: Kevin Saff

• The Water Cycle

  The diagram shows the storage and exchange of water between the atmosphere, the geosphere (land) and the oceans. Transformations of water between ice, liquid and vapour are shown, as is the terminology for these transformations. Author: John M. Even / USGS
