Earth Science is the study of the Earth and its processes, encompassing a wide range of scientific disciplines. It involves the examination of the Earth’s structure, composition, and the various systems that operate within it, including the lithosphere (geology), hydrosphere (hydrology), atmosphere (meteorology), and biosphere (biology). Earth scientists investigate natural phenomena such as weather patterns, climate change, geological events (like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), the water cycle, and ecosystem dynamics. The field integrates insights from other sciences, including physics, chemistry, and biology, to understand how natural systems interact and change over time. Earth Science plays a crucial role in addressing environmental challenges, resource management, and understanding the impacts of human activity on the planet.
