Earth Science

• The inner core is the solid, dense center of the Earth, composed mainly of iron and nickel.
• The hydrosphere includes all water on or near the surface of the earth.
• The lithosphere consists of the crust, mantle, and outer core.
• The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope surrounding the earth.
• Oceans cover about 70% of the earth's surface
• The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, and it is composed of solid rock that is broken into tectonic plates.
• mantle is the thickest part of the earth's interior, located between the crust and the core.
• The outer core is the liquid layer surrounding the inner core, also made up mostly of iron and nickel.
• lithosphere is the rigid outermost shell of the earth that includes both the crust and uppermost portion of the mantle.
• Water covers about three-fourths of the Earth's surface as oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and groundwater.
• The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope surrounding the Earth that provides protection from meteorites and other space debris.
• The biosphere encompasses all living organisms and their interactions with the environment.
• Atmosphere also regulates temperature by absorbing solar radiation during the day and releasing it at night.
• The geosphere refers to the solid portion of the Earth's interior.
• Lakes are bodies of freshwater that can be found around the world
• The pedosphere comprises soil and its formation processes.
• Glaciers are large masses of ice formed by snow accumulation over many years
• The mantle lies beneath the crust and extends to the boundary between the core and the mantle.
• The outer core is made up mostly of molten iron and nickel, with some lighter elements mixed in.
• core is divided into two parts: the inner core (solid) and the outer core (liquid).
• Troposphere - This is the lowest level of the atmosphere where weather occurs.
• The atmosphere is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other trace gases.
• Atmosphere - The thin layer of gas that surrounds the Earth and provides protection from solar radiation.
• The asthenosphere is the lower part of the lithosphere where rocks are able to flow slowly over time due to heat from the mantle below.
• earthquake is a sudden release of energy caused by movement along fault lines or other geological structures within the earth's crust.
• Core - The core is the innermost region of the earth, consisting of two parts: the inner core (solid) and the outer core (liquid).
• atmosphere is the gaseous envelope around the planet, consisting mainly of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2).
• hydrosphere consists of all water found on or near the Earth's surface, including oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, ice caps, glaciers, and groundwater.
• biosphere refers to all living organisms on Earth and their interactions with one another and the environment.
• Biosphere consists of all living things and their relationships with one another and the physical environment.
• The atmosphere is composed mainly of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and trace amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide, argon, helium, neon, methane, krypton, hydrogen, xenon, and radon.
• The atmosphere has different layers based on altitude, including the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, exosphere, and magnetosphere.
• Groundwater is water stored beneath the earth's surface
• Ocean currents are large masses of moving seawater
• Rivers are large, flowing bodies of water that transport sediment and nutrients through erosion and deposition.
• Soil is composed of mineral particles, organic matter, air, and water, and plays an important role in supporting plant growth and storing carbon.
• The study of different parts of Earth is called Earth science.
• Geology is the study of the origin, history, and structure of Earth.
• Geology also includes the study of the processes that shape Earth.
• A scientist who studies geology is called a geologist.
