The Planetary Boundaries framework acknowledges the influence of the 1972 study, The Limits to Growth, that presented a model in which exponential growth in world population, industrialization, pollution, food production, and resources depletion outstrip the ability of technology to increase resources availability.

Terrain map in planetary cartography is a graphic representation of the distribution of boundaries between mapped regions on the planetary body, showing the presence or absence of characteristic details of a surface (e.g., impact craters, hills, faults, lava flows, aeolian cover, etc.). Such maps are usually produced by data obtained by remote ...

Gorda Ridge – Tectonic spreading center off the northern coast of California and southern Oregon; Juan de Fuca Ridge – Divergent plate boundary off the coast of the Pacific Northwest region of North America; South American–Antarctic Ridge – Mid-ocean ridge in the South Atlantic between the South American plate and the Antarctic plate
The data plotted is the fraction current value/boundary, except for ocean acidification and ozone depletion where the reciprocal values were used because lower values are bad, not good as for the other axes. For the phosphorus cycle the mean value of 9 was used as 8.5–9.5 was given in the table.
