Earth Systems Thinking is a cognitive framework that integrates Earth's interconnected spheres—the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere—into a holistic understanding of natural processes, distinguished by its emphasis on systemic interactions, feedback mechanisms, and dynamic change across spatial and temporal scales within secondary Earth science education.
