  • The Earth's inner structure and lithospheric plates
  • Internal processes: plate movements, consequences, and their significance
  • Earthquakes
  • Volcanism, geysers, and seismic zones
  • External processes: weathering, the impact of water, wind, glaciers, and underground water
  • Minerals and rocks, natural resources
  • Relief of continents and the ocean floor
  • Formation of mountains and plains and their diversity
