Earth science is a
very interesting science because here many practical methods are applied as a result of systematic
and measurable calculations. Currently, there are many branches of earth science, all of which have
the same goal, namely to secure the population of living things on planet earth.
Some earth scientists (geologists) use their knowledge to find and develop energy and mineral
sources. Others study the impact of human activities on the earth’s environment and planning
methods to protect the planet. Meanwhile, some of them use their knowledge to study processes
that occur such as volcanoes, earthquakes, climate, hurricanes, and others.
Many different sciences are used to study the earth and outer space (space/universe/solar system).
However, in general there are 4 Main Branches of Earth Sciences, namely:
1. Geology
2. Meteorology
3. Oceanography
4. Astronomy
Today we live when the earth and its inhabitants are facing many problems. Our climate is changing,
and that change is caused by human activities. Earth scientists are aware of this problem and will
play a key role in addressing it.
