Earth Science is a broad field that encompasses several key branches, each focusing on

different aspects of the Earth and its processes. The main branches of Earth Science
are:

1. Geology: The study of the solid Earth, including its materials, structures,
processes, and history. Geologists examine rocks, minerals, and the processes
that shape the Earth's surface.
2. Meteorology: The study of the atmosphere and weather patterns.
Meteorologists analyze weather systems, climate, and atmospheric phenomena
to understand and predict weather conditions.
3. Oceanography: The study of the Earth's oceans, including their composition,
movement, organisms, and processes. Oceanographers explore marine
ecosystems, ocean currents, and the impact of oceans on the global climate.
4. Astronomy: The study of celestial objects and phenomena beyond the Earth's
atmosphere. Astronomers investigate the origins, evolution, and properties of
planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe as a whole.
5. Environmental Science: The study of the interactions between the Earth's
physical, chemical, and biological components. Environmental scientists focus on
understanding and addressing environmental issues such as pollution,
conservation, and sustainability.
