There are four primary areas of study within this discipline. These encompass the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the biosphere. These areas are then divided into more specialized fields. Earth science utilizes tools from a range of disciplines including geography, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics and chronology. These tools are employed to develop a quantitative comprehension of Earth's functioning and evolution. Moreover, this discipline investigates various geological phenomena associated with the Earth's crust, mantle, and core. This book presents the complex subject of Earth science in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
