The site features something called ” Earth spheres’ that give a little bit of an overview of what the of what the four spheres of our plant is made of. They off maps the planet in variety of different maps and view, especially  in different countries.

I think its very helpful to have something like this because you can kinda get any overhead view of what a particular country’s environmental situation that can also affect other things in those places.
