Global View of the Seasons (Interactive)
By measuring subtle differences in light that result from varying concentrations of plant life around the world, scientists are able to better understand Earth. These false-color images provided by the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Project provide visual representations of the concentrations of plant life in the oceans and on land. In this interactive activity produced for Teachers' Domain, learn how the distribution of Earth's vegetation changes over the seasons.

Kennedy, a researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agricultural Research Service and an adjunct faculty member in crop and soil sciences at Washington State University, talks about dirt the way some people ta
