So what are the 4 branches of Earth Science again?
MAGO means “magician”Use this word to help
you remember the 4 branches of Earth

Astronomy
Study of objects beyond Earth’s atmosphere
Stars, Solar System, Galaxies
![Page 14: Earth Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/568132a8550346895d994ede/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Meteorology
Studies the Air that surrounds the Earth
Layers of the Atmosphere, Weather Patterns, Seasons
![Page 15: Earth Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/568132a8550346895d994ede/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Geology
Study of materials that make up the Earth
rocks, minerals, glacial movements
![Page 16: Earth Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081516/568132a8550346895d994ede/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Oceanography
Study of Earth Oceans
Physical and chemical properties, sea floor activity

What shape is our planet?

Four Main SystemsThere are four main systems that we study in Earth Science
Each System is interdependent on each other
1) Lithosphere
2) Hydrosphere
3) Atmosphere
4) Biosphere

Lithosphere
Its the outer shell of the Earth
crust and upper part of mantle that is rigid
the squishy part of the mantle is the asthenosphere

Hydrosphere
The water in Earth’s lakes, oceans, rivers and glaciers
97% of the Earth’s water is saltwater
3% Freshwater

AtmosphereBlanket of gas that surrounds our planet
78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen
1% other random gasses and water vapor

BiosphereAll organisms on the Earth, even Humans
Most live in the 1st few meters of Earth Surface
Only planet with life
Also includes the habitats of organisms
