Geosphere
• The geosphere is the solid Earth that includes
continental and oceanic crust as well as the
various layers of the Earth's interior
Atmosphere
• Earth’s atmospheric layers and properties of
them. This is where earth’s weather happens.
What are the forces that drive and create
weather/climate patterns?
Hydropshere
• It includes all liquid and frozen surface waters,
groundwater held in soil and rock, and
atmospheric water vapour. Virtually all of
these waters are in constant circulation
through the hydrologic cycle
Biosphere
• The biosphere is the global sum of all
ecosystems. It can also be called the zone of
life on Earth.
Geology
• is the science and study of the solid and liquid
matter that constitutes the Earth. The field of
geology encompasses the study of the
composition, structure, physical properties,
dynamics, and history of Earth materials, and
the processes by which they are formed,
moved, and changed.
Oceanography
• is the branch of Earth science that studies the
ocean
Meteorology/Atmospheric Studies
• Study of weather patterns, the atmosphere,
and climates of earth. What forces drive the
weather and climate of earth? How are we
able to predict weather? What is the
anthropogenic impact on weather and
climate?
Astronomy
• is the scientific study of celestial objects (such
as stars, planets, comets, nebulæ, star clusters
and galaxies) and phenomena that originate
outside the Earth's atmosphere (such as the
cosmic background radiation
Environmental Science
• field that involves both the physical sciences
(physics, chemistry, biology, geology,
geography, resource technology and
engineering) and the social sciences (resource
management and conservation, demography,
economics, politics and ethics). It
encompasses the surrounding conditions that
affect man and other organisms. Natural and
human resources are interdependent and the
use or misuse of one affects the other.
