to study Earth

Science?
Why Earth Environmental Science?
Stars like our
Sun are
powered by
nuclear fusion.
Milky
Way

Astronomy is
the study of the
universe.
Stars like our
Sun are
powered by
nuclear fusion.
Astronomy Vocabulary Words
Earth, motion, space, precession,
nutation, barycenter, galaxy, rotates,
revolves, sun, 365 days, Polaris, elliptical
plane, tilted, seasons, tides, Southern
Hemisphere, Northern Hemisphere,
gravitational pull, surface temperature,
heat, reflected, radiation, helium, nuclear
fusion, hydrogen, solar energy, chemical
energy, photosynthesis.
Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian
Ocean, Arctic Ocean
Oceanography deals with
the oceans on earth and
how they influence the
weather.
Oceanography Vocabulary Words
salinity, density, wave,
current, global warming,
El Nino, La Nina, sea
level rise, ocean
currents, gyre, pollution
2. What is Oceanography?

Atmosphere, climate,
weather, clouds,
precipitation
Meteorology
Meteorology Vocabulary Words
atmosphere, troposphere, stratosphere,
mesosphere, exosphere, air pressure,
humidity, barometer, nitrogen, oxygen,
carbon dioxide, air mass, weather
systems, warm front, cold front
stationary front, occluded front, cyclone,
hurricane, typhoon, weather data, wind,
temperature, weather, climate
Meteorology is the study
of weather and climate.
Both weather and
climate describes the
condition of the
atmosphere. But
weather is for a
shorter time , like
days, and climate is
for a longer time,
usually 30 or more
years.

Sedimentary
Rocks.
Geology
Geology Vocabulary Words
rock cycle, plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes,
lithosphere, sea floor spreading, oceanic subduction zone,
Benioff zone, mountains, eruption, magma, melting, ocean
floor, sediment, oceanic rift zone, upwelling, rocks absolute
dating, paleomagnetic evidence, crustal plates, crustal plates,
heating and melting, cementing and compaction, parent
material, weathering and erosion, intense heat and pressure,
metamorphic rock, igneous rock, sedimentary rock, faults,
plate boundaries, seismic wave, epicenter, focus, topographic
maps, geologic maps, mechanical weathering, chemical
weathering. agents of weathering, agents of erosion, soil
formation, geohazards, landslides, avalanches, tsunami, safety
precautions, mass movements, contour plowing.

Plate Tectonics
describes the
motion of tectonic
plates the lead to
earthquakes,
volcanic eruption,
subduction, and
many more
5. Why study Earth
Environmental Science?
Earth science
empowers us to think
globally and act locally.
to make sound decisions about
issues important in our lives as
individuals and citizens.
5. Why Earth
Environmental Science?
Just as Earth systems
directly affect each of us,
we — as individuals,
communities and nations
— affect our planet.
We need sustain our limited
Earth resources!
Ecology is the study of how
to protect and promote of
environment.
Ecology deals with
biomes like the
tropical rainforest,
grassland, deserts,
taiga, and tundra. It
also tackles issues
on global warming
and climate change.

the relationships between Earth
Science, Astronomy, Geology,
Meteorology, and Oceanography .

Why do we need to conserve water? When the amount
of water on Earth is the same as the amount water during
the Jurassic. Think!
