environmental science, including the definition and major fields of environmental science, the significance
of environmental science, ecological levels of organization, atmospheric layers and their importance, the
evolution of Earth's atmosphere, the composition of atmospheric gases, air pollution, and its sources and
impacts, prevention strategies for air pollution, and the dynamics of the water cycle, including its
significance.
