You've Landed.

Right now near Ashburn, Virginia, the air is about 70°F, with a clear sky. You're in the Northern Hemisphere, where the tilt of Earth shapes the length of your days and the turning of your felt seasons. Beneath you lies an Alfisol, the same order as Miami (Fig. 05) in the plates below. Formed over millennia, that soil is storing water, feeding roots, and holding the memory of everything that has been here before you and the capacity to hold everything that comes after you. We invite you to explore the twenty-three plates below as you listen to the soil (audio off).
