Dynamic Tectonic Plates:  Earth's outer shell is made up of tectonic plates that constantly shift, causing earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.

Earth's Magnetic Shield:  The planet's magnetic field protects us from harmful solar radiation, generated by the movement of molten iron in its core.

One Moon: Earth has a single natural satellite, the Moon, which influences ocean tides and stabilizes the planet's axial tilt.

Atmospheric Layers: Earth's atmosphere consists of multiple layers, including the troposphere where weather occurs, and the ozone layer, which protects us from UV radiation.
