Branches of Earth Science
Earth Science is the study of our planet, including its land, water, air, and living things. It has five main branches, each focusing on different parts of the Earth.
Earth scientists help us understand the world around us by collecting and studying data. You can also explore your surroundings through hands-on activities that show how nature works.
As you explore, think about these questions:
By asking questions and observing the world around you, you can become a scientist in your own backyard.
Understanding cause and effect helps us see how things in nature are connected. In Earth Science, one event can lead to another. By recognizing these connections, we can predict changes, prepare for natural disasters, and find ways to protect the environment.
Cause and effect relationships are fundamental in understanding how natural systems work.
For example:
Cause: Cutting down forests (deforestation)
Effect: Deforestation leads to habitat loss and soil erosion.
Cause: Warmer ocean temperatures
Effect: Warmer ocean temperatures lead to stronger hurricanes.
By studying these effects, scientists can predict future changes and develop solutions to protect our planet.
