Introduction to Earth Science
- is the study of
our planet, its
changing
systems, and its
place in the
universe
- Because all of Earth's systems are
interconnected, researchers in
different branches of earth science
generally must work together to
answer complex questions.

- Geology: the study of the solid Earth, the
materials of which it is made, the
structure of those materials, and
the processes acting upon them
- Geologists study Earth processes
(landslides, earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, etc.), Earth materials
(oil, metals, rocks, etc.), and Earth's
history (Pangaea, continental drift,
fossils, etc.)
- It is divided into
several branches,
including mineralogy,
planetary geology,
marine geology,
seismology, and
paleontology

- Meteorology: the study
of Earth's atmosphere
- Meteorology includes the
study of weather patterns,
clouds, hurricanes,
tornadoes, storms, etc.
- Using radars and satellites,
meteorologists work to
predict, or forecast, the
weather
- Meteorology includes the
study of weather patterns,
clouds, hurricanes,
tornadoes, storms, etc.
- Climatology: the study
of the climate of Earth's
atmosphere
- These scientists work to understand the
climate as it is now. They also study how
climate will change in response to global
warming. There are lots of questions to ask
about our changing climate.

- Environmental Science: study
of the interactions between
humans and the environment
- It is an interdisciplinary academic
field that integrates physical,
biological and information sciences
(including ecology, biology, physics,
chemistry, plant science, zoology,
mineralogy, oceanology, limnology,
soil science, geology, atmospheric
science, and geodesy) to the study of
the environment
- Environmental scientists study the effects
people have on their environment. This
includes the landscape, atmosphere, water,
and living things. These scientists ask all
sorts of questions about how Earth systems
are changing as a result of human actions.
They try to predict what changes will come
in the future. Ecologists study lifeforms and
the environments they live in. They try to
predict the chain reactions that could occur
when one part of the ecosystem is
disrupted.

- Astronomy: the study of outer
space and the physical bodies
beyond Earth
- Astronomers use telescopes to see things far
beyond what the human eye can see.
Astronomers help to design spacecrafts or
satellites that travel into space and send
back information about faraway places
- It is a natural science that studies
celestial objects and phenomena. It
applies mathematics, physics, and
chemistry, in an effort to explain the
origin of those objects and phenomena
and their evolution. Objects of interest
include planets, moons, stars, galaxies,
and comets; the phenomena include
supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts,
and cosmic microwave background
radiation. More generally, all phenomena
that originate outside Earth's
atmosphere are within the purview of
astronomy.

- Oceanography: the
study of the oceans
- More than 70% of Earth’s surface is
covered with water. Almost all of that
water is in the oceans. Scientists
have visited the deepest parts of the
ocean in submarines. Much of the
ocean remains unexplored.
- There are many branches of oceanography.
Physical oceanography is the study of
water movement, like waves and ocean
currents. Physical oceanographers ask
when or if a tsunami will hit a shoreline.
Marine geologists look at rocks and
structures in the ocean basins. These
scientists ask how new ocean crust forms.
Chemical oceanographers study the
natural elements in ocean water. Chemical
oceanographers might be concerned with
where carbon dioxide goes in the oceans.
Marine biologists look at marine life.
