4 Main Areas of Study
• Astronomy

Which picture belongs to which area?
Astronomy
•The study of objects beyond
the Earth’s atmosphere.
• A person who studies
astronomy is a Astronomer,
they study the universe and
everything in it.
Meteorology
• The branch of Earth Science that studies
the air that surrounds our planet.

processes that cause the atmosphere to
change to produce weather. They also try
to predict the weather and how changes in
the weather might affect the Earth’s
climate.
Oceanography
• The study of Earth’s oceans! They cover
nearly 3/4’s of the planet!
• Oceanographers study the creatures that
live in the oceans, they measure
different physical and chemical
properties of the oceans, observe how
different processes occur in these bodies
of water. Some study how humans
affect the oceans.
Geology
• The study of the materials that
make up Earth and the processes
that form and change these
materials.
• Geologists identify rocks, study
glacial movements, and study
Earth’s history.
What are some
of the ways that
each of these
areas affect our
daily lives?
In groups of 3 or 4

might be in each branch
of Earth Science and give
a brief description of each
