Identify branches of Earth science that are linked to
other areas of science.
•
Describe careers associated with different branches of
Earth science.
Geology – the study of the solid
Earth, or the lithosphere.
Volcanologist – volcanoes.
Seismologist – earthquakes.
Paleontologist – fossils.
Oceanography – the study of the ocean.
(The hydrosphere is the layer of water)
