Why Earth Science
Write down 3 ideas, concepts, thoughts, you and your group had after watching the video (Back of Index Card)
Lets see what you know!

Geologists study the forces that have shaped Earth throughout its long history. Geologists study the chemical and physical characteristics of rock, the material that forms Earths hard surface. Geologists describe the features sculpted in rock and soil by water, wind, and waves.
Geology The study of solid Earth and the processes in which it evolves.

Geologists study the forces that have shaped Earth throughout its long history. Geologists study the chemical and physical characteristics of rock, the material that forms Earths hard surface. Geologists describe the features sculpted in rock and soil by water, wind, and waves.
Oceanography is the study of Earths oceans. Oceanographers study everything from the chemistry of ocean water to the shape of the ocean floor to living things in the oceans depths.
Oceanography The branch of science that deals with the physical and biological properties and phenomena of the sea.
Geologists study the forces that have shaped Earth throughout its long history. Geologists study the chemical and physical characteristics of rock, the material that forms Earths hard surface. Geologists describe the features sculpted in rock and soil by water, wind, and waves.
Astronomy is the study of the universe beyond Earth. Some astronomers focus on the solar system. Other astronomers observe stars and galaxies in an effort to understand the universe and its history.
Astronomy The Study of Earth and its place in our Universe
Geologists study the forces that have shaped Earth throughout its long history. Geologists study the chemical and physical characteristics of rock, the material that forms Earths hard surface. Geologists describe the features sculpted in rock and soil by water, wind, and waves.
Meteorology is the study of Earths atmosphere. Meteorologists do much more than just forecast tomorrows weather. Meteorologists are scientists who gather information about conditions in the atmosphere from around the world. Scientists in related fields study the forces that change Earths climate.
Meteorology the study of the changes in temperature, air pressure, moisture, and wind direction in the troposphere.
Geologists study the forces that have shaped Earth throughout its long history. Geologists study the chemical and physical characteristics of rock, the material that forms Earths hard surface. Geologists describe the features sculpted in rock and soil by water, wind, and waves.
Environmental scientists, study Earths environment and resources. Environmental scientists work together to determine the effects of human activities on Earths land, air, water, and living things. They try to solve problems, such as pollution, that result from the use of resources.
Environmental Science The study of Earths environments, resources, and the effects of human activities on the air, land, water, and living things.
