The ribbon layout by default is shown in what is known as Simplified Ribbon which takes up less screen space.
You can also choose to show them as Classic Ribbon. Below I will show both options for each available ribbon tab.
To switch between Simplified and Classic click the arrow in top right corner and choose the option from the menu as shown below.
Below I have covered the tabs shown when working with email - the tabs and their content change if you are working with People, Calendar, Tasks or Notes.
