Lesson 1: Branches of
Earth Science
Unit 1: Exploring Our Earth T. Tomm 2019 http://sciencespot.net
1. Identify these specialized sciences. “Ology” Description
Studies rocks, minerals, and other aspects of Earth
Studies minerals and their properties
Studies earthquakes and their effects on Earth
Studies volcanoes and their effects on Earth
Studies fossils to gain clues about Earth’s past
Compares Earth (geology) to other planets
Studies Earth’s moon and its geology
Studies rivers and lakes
Studies water on Earth and beneath the surface
Studies oceans and all the related components
Studies rocks and formations in the ocean
Studies the natural elements in ocean water
Studies glaciers to explain how they impacted the Earth
Studies living things in the ocean
Studies the atmosphere and weather
Studies climate and global warming
Studies the effects humans have on Earth and its resources
Studies life forms and the environments in which they live
Studies outer space and the physical bodies in our solar system

2. Think About It – Use the information in Lesson 1 to answer these questions. Write your answers on the page below this worksheet.
A) Why is Earth science considered a “combination science”?
B) Explain why an environmental scientist might need knowledge of earth science and biology.
C) How would a volcanologist use chemistry to investigate magma?
Many branches of Earth science combine concepts from physical and life sciences.
The scientist would need to understand how living things use the resources on earth (water, soil, air, etc.) and what damage they can do.
A volcanologist would need knowledge of chemistry to analyze the crystals and other chemical compounds found in magma.

What notes did you add as you watched the video?
Intro to Earth Science video
Which is “bigger”: the height of the tallest mountain or the depth of the deepest ocean trench? Which galaxy are we in? How wide is it? Milky Way, 100 Million Light Years Where would it take longer to boil an egg – Mt. Everest or Havana, IL? In what eon, era, and period are we living? Phanerozoic Cenozoic Quaternary What percentage of the Earth is covered by oceans? 71% What percentage of all life on Earth is supported by the oceans? 50% What else did you add?
Finish Lesson 1 Vocab Write definitions for the 15 terms discussed in class
Finish Lesson 2 Notes Read Lesson 2 and complete BOTH sides of the notes.
Complete the ES Unit 1 Note Quiz A on Quia.com You may use your science notebook, but no other resources. Spelling counts on the fill-in questions – capitalization doesn’t matter.
