5 Branches of Earth Science

Morgan McDaniel

Geology

The scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of Earth and the processes that shape Earth

Geology

Careers

Careers

  • Geologists
  • Paleontologists
  • Archaeologists

Importance

Importance

Geologists study Earth processes. Many processes such as landslides, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions can be hazardous to people. Geologists work to understand these processes well enough to avoid building important structures where they might be damaged.

Oceanography

The scientific study of the ocean, including the properties and movements of ocean water, the characteristics of the ocean floor, and the organisms that live in the ocean

Oceanography

Careers

Careers

  • Marine Chemist
  • Marine Biologists
  • Oceanographer

Importance

Importance

Oceanography is important to study because the worlds oceans are critically important for sustaining life on Earth. We need to continue to study and research and maintain the oceans of the world to help improve and sustain life on Earth.

Meterology

The scientific study of Earth’s atmosphere, especially in relation to weather and climate

Meteorology

Careers

Careers

  • Meterologist
  • Weather Forcaster

Importance

Meteorology is important to study, to learn about the Earth's atmosphere and the variations in temperature and moisture patterns that produce different weather conditions. Some of the major subjects of study are such phenomena as precipitation (rain and snow), thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes and typhoons.

Astronomy

The scientific study of the universe and one of the oldest branches of Earth Science

Astronomy

Careers

  • Astronomers
  • Astronauts
  • NASA

Careers

Importance

Astronomy is concerned with the chemical composition and physical properties of the universe from subatomic particles and the nucleosynthesis of atoms to the cosmic web of galaxies and dark matter.

Enviromental Science

The ways in which humans interact with their enviroment

Enviromental Science

Careers

  • Enviromental Scientist

Careers

Importance

Environmental science today covers, how living and nonliving things interact. It involves a lot of discipline and fields of study such as physics, biology, chemistry, geography, and oceanography. Environmental science is important to save our world from destruction.
