Geoid Animation
Animated globe illustrating the Geoid height, highlighting variations in the Earth's gravitational pull caused by uneven mass distribution.
Accurate and accessible science graphics, including illustration and data visualisation, of our lovely planet Earth. Dive into observations and models of the Earth to learn more about, understand, and appreciate it as our one home.
Geoid Globe
The geoid represents the wavy surface of sea level across the Earth's uneven mass distribution, influenced by terrain and density variations.
Earth Internal Heat Flow
Earth's internal heat flow from the core, mantle and crust to the surface through conduction, convection, and advection.
Magnetic Seafloor Anomalies
Global map of magnetic anomalies imprinted onto the seafloor of the Earth in form of characteristic stripes and other patterns.
Pangea
Reconstruction of the supercontinent Pangea (or Pangaea) that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
Earthquake distribution map (poster)
Global map of seismicity showing the distribution of large 5.8+ magnitude historic earthquakes derived from seismic wave measurements.
Global Moho depth
Global maps of the Mohorovičić discontinuity, i.e., the Moho depth, across the Earth based on ESA's satellite observations and the project GEMMA.
Dynamic Earth (animation)
Earth’s surface elevation and mantle density animated through space and time.
Planetary body sizes
Artistic compilation of the sun, planets, dwarf planets, and the largest moons of our solar system. All planetary radii are to scale.
