The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean on Earth, containing the Mariana Trench—the deepest known point at 11,022 meters. All continents could fit within its vast area, and the trench is even deeper than Mount Everest is tall.

Chapter 5: Ecosystems

This deck covers key concepts about ecosystems, including their components, sizes, and the roles of different organisms within them.

Chapter 4 - Climate Change

This flashcard set explores the Quaternary period and the Earth's climate history, covering the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs, past and present climate change, rising sea levels, ocean temperature trends, and how scientists use proxy data like ice cores to study long-term climate patterns.

Chapter 3 - Flooding In Cumbria

A compact flashcard set focusing on UK rainfall and flooding, highlighting average rainfall ranges, the impact on homes, causes of heavy rainfall, and specific details about the extreme flooding event in Cumbria.
