Concerned with the entire earth - solid litosphere, liquid hydrosphere, gaseous atmosphere

It is the study of Earth and its neighbors in space

It is an exciting science with many interesting and practical applications.

They use their knowledge of the Earth to locate and develop energy and mineral resources.

They study the impact of human activity on earth's environment and design methods to protect the planet

4 main branches of earth science

Primary earth science

It means "study of the earth"

It deals with the composition of Earth materials, earth structures, and earth processes

What does geology deal with

Concerned with the organisms of the planet and how the planet has changed over time.

It is the study of the atmosphere and how processes in the atmosphere determine Earth's weather and climate.

It is a very practical science because everyone is concerned about the weather.

How climate changes over time in response to the action of people is a topic of

It is the study of earth's ocean and their boundaries -- their composition, movement, organisms, and processes.

It covers most of our planet and are important resources for food and other commodities.

They work to develop the ocean as a resource and protect it from human impact.

Solid earth

Gases (the air)

All water

All life

"rocky sphere"

Composed of the entire crust plus the outermost part of the mantle.

Lithosphere is composed of

Both solid and rigid

Litosphere is cool enough to behave like a

The litosphere is underlain by

It is the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the upper mantle.

Hydrosphere is _% of earth's surface

78% of the earth's surface

It consists of water in all forms

How many percentage of nitrogen are there in the atmosphere?

How many percentage of oxygen are there in the atmosphere?

How many percentage of other gases are there in the atmosphere?

Mixture of gases that surrounds the planet

Five main layers of the atmosphere

"lung sphere"

Global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships including their interaction with the elements of litosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.

Study of the universe

They use the knowledge of Earth materials, processes, and history to understand other planets - even those outside of our solar system

It drives the ocean's tidal system

It has repeatedly devastated earth's inhabitants

Study of living organisms and life processes
