interconnectedness
Because Earth's systems are linked, pollution in a river can impact these other areas.
other Earth systems
Sunlight is less direct at these two specific locations than it is at the Equator.
North and South Poles
Taking a short shower is a personal action used to conserve this specific resource.
water
To protect one of the four spheres and keep it healthy, humans can practice this specific habit.
