  3. I Introduction This presentation will show you a sampling of the thousands of images taken of Earth from manned spacecraft. You will see images of plate boundaries, atmosphere-ocean interactions, rivers and mountains, as well as the results of anthropogenic influences on Earth’s systems. We hope you will complete this program with a new-found interest in how the Earth works. The site listed below contains all hand-held photography taken from orbit. Enjoy. http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov I Introduction
