Science are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Geology
Astronomy
Meteorology
Oceanography
1. Geology
study of the origin, history, and structure
of Earth and its processes that shape it.
includes things like volcanic eruption and
earthquake predictions.
study of Earths surface helps to map
other planets.
Geologists also study the interior of Earth.
2. Astronomy
This is the study of the universe beyond
Earth which include:
Planets
Moons
Stars
Other space objects (e.g.. Comets)
3. Meteorology
The study of the atmosphere and weather
that it creates.
Areas linked to this are climate change
and environmental impacts due to
pollution.
Study & tracking of recent storms and
their severity are examples of what a
Meteorologist may do.
4. Oceanography
Oceanographers study:
the ocean, ocean floor, icebergs and
currents in the ocean.
marine life and the impact of climate
change on these species.
the effects of underwater earthquakes
and develop warning systems for coastal
regions.

1.2 Review (pg 12)
Internal structure: The center is nearly 6400 km from the surfacemost of the model
is based on indirect evidence. At its center is a spherical inner core 1200 km in
diameter. The inner core is made of solid iron and nickel.
Surrounding the inner core is an outer core about 2250 km thick made of liquid iron
and nickel. Then comes a 2900 km thick layer of heavy rocks rich in compound of
iron, magnesium, and silicon-Mantle-reaches almost to the Earths surface.
The mantle is covered by a lighter layer of rocks-Crust. The crust ranges in thickness
from about 10 km below the ocean basins to about 65 km below the continents.
Original earth was probably not like this. IF the protoplanet theory is correct it
looked like the moon.
The Earth developed its layers or core, mantle, and crust through temperature/heat.
As the temperature of the newly formed Earth increased, large quantities of iron and
nickel in its rocks melted. Great streams of these hot, heavy liquids flowed toward
Earths center. On their way down they melted lighter rock materials and forced
them up to the surface. At the surface the light rock became solid and formed
Earths crust. The mantle formed between the crust and the core.

Geology
If it cant be farmed on land, or caught in the
sea, it was probably mined.
determines where oil, coal, and mineral
deposits are located, can predict
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions
