Earth Science, also known as 'Geoscience' is a term that all encompasses the science related to the planet Earth. Within Earth Science there are four major disciplines; Geography - The study of the Earth and its features, inhabitants and related phenomena. Geology - The study of the solid matter that constitutes the Earth Geophysics - This is the study of the Earth using quantitative physical methods, such as seismic, electromagnetic and radioactivity using maths, physics and computer science as tools Geodesy - This is a branch of Earth Sciences that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Within all these four major disciplines of Earth Science the use of the major classic science fields; Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Chronology and Mathematics, are all used to understand the individual areas or spheres within the Earth system. These broad areas or spheres of the Earth system are the; Hydrosphere - Describes the collective mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of the planet Biosphere - This relates to the part of the Earth, including air, water, land and surface rocks in which life occurs and biotic processes alter and transform Lithosphere - This describes the outermost carapace or shell of a rocky planet (in this instance the Earth). On Earth this included the crust and uppermost mantle. Atmosphere - This relates to the layer of gasses that surround the Earth, retained by the force Gravity. This thin layer of gasses protects life on Earth by absorbing ultra violet rays from the sun and helps to regulate the day and night temperatures on the Earth's surface by trapping heat *However there are other models of the Earth that include other additional spheres such as the; Pedosphere, Geosphere, Anthroposphere, Cryosphere and Noosphere.

What is the other term for earth science?
geology...?
What is a branch of Earth Science that relies heavily on other areas of science?
astronomy
How is science related to earth science?
Science has a lot of branches including math, chemistry, biology, etc. Earth science is the study of the plates of the planet, or sometimes even other planets and their components. It is a branch of Science which deals with the Earth's components and its natures
How are science ecology and environmental science similar?
Science means the "study of". Ecology is a branch or subset of biology that studies how organisms relate to each other and their surroundings. Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field that includes physics, chemistry, biology, physical geography, and atmospheric sciences.
How are rocks related to earth science?
Because rocks are formed deep in the Earth, and sometimes by compressed sand other sedimentary material.
Is speleology an earth or physical science?
Speleology, the study of caves, is like other geological sciences an "earth" science.
Is earth science an independent science?
No, it gets information from all other sciences you have to know about BIOLOGY, BIOCHEMISTRY, CHEMISTRY..
Is breadmold earth science life science or physical science?
The study of bread mold would fall into the Life Sciences, because it entails the study of living things (in this case, a mold). biology and zoology are examples of Life Sciences. The Earth Sciences study the mechanisms of Earth (and other planets); two examples of Earth Sciences are geology and atmospheric sciences. The Physical Sciences explain phenomena that result from the physical interactions between objects, particles, and energy. Two examples of physical sciences are physics and chemistry.
What do you study in earth science?
In earth sciences, you study rocks and minerals, soil and sedimentation, erosion, volcanoes, and other neat stuff.
Is earth science a social science?
Earth science is not considered a social science. Earth science is a natural science that focuses on the study of the Earth's physical processes, such as geology, meteorology, and oceanography. Social sciences, on the other hand, examine human behavior and society, including subjects like sociology, psychology, and anthropology.
Is star gazing a part of biology?
Not really, astronomy is a separate branch of science on it's own. Other sciences will be involved though.
Telescope is most useful in which branch of the earth sciences?
There are various branches of Earth science - geology, physical geography, geophysics, soil science, ecology, hydrology, glaciology, and the atmospheric sciences. The branch of Earth science that would benefit most from the use of a telescope would most likely be meteorology or atmospheric chemistry, of the Atmospheric branch of Earth science.
Is earth sciences differ from the life science in that it focuses on nonliving rather than living things?
Earth science also covers soil, rock, earth's make up, etc. life science, on the other hand is only about living things.
What is comparison between political science to other social sciences?
both are human sciences.
What is the importance of mathematics in science?
Mathematical is a science, it is fundamental to all other 'sciences'
Why do you think that astronomy is considered to be an Earth science?
Astronomy is one of the space sciences, but it is often combined academically, into the category of Earth and Space sciences, both of which are involved in large scale observations about the universe in which we live. Astronomers study planets in general (among other celestial objects), and the Earth is a planet.
Why does the study of earth science involved many different sciences?
The earth has many scientific things to discover!
