5. Geologists study the forces that have
shaped Earth throughout its long
history. Geologists study the chemical
and physical characteristics of rock,
the material that forms Earth’s hard
surface. Geologists describe the
features sculpted in rock and soil by
water, wind, and waves.
6. Geology – The study of solid Earth and
the processes in which it evolves.

Oceanography is the study of
Earth’s oceans. Oceanographers
study everything from the chemistry
of ocean water to the shape of the
ocean floor to living things in the
ocean’s depths.
9. Oceanography – The branch of science that deals
with the physical and biological properties and
phenomena of the sea.
10. Geologists study the forces that have shaped
Earth throughout its long history. Geologists
study the chemical and physical
characteristics of rock, the material that
forms Earth’s hard surface. Geologists
describe the features sculpted in rock and soil
by water, wind, and waves.
Astronomy is the study of the
universe beyond Earth. Some
astronomers focus on the solar
system. Other astronomers
observe stars and galaxies in an
effort to understand the universe
and its history.
11. Astronomy – The Study of Earth and its
place in our Universe
12. Geologists study the forces that have shaped

study the chemical and physical
characteristics of rock, the material that
forms Earth’s hard surface. Geologists
describe the features sculpted in rock and soil
by water, wind, and waves.
Meteorology is the study of Earth’s
atmosphere. Meteorologists do much
more than just forecast tomorrow’s
weather. Meteorologists are scientists
who gather information about
conditions in the atmosphere from
around the world. Scientists in related
fields study the forces that change
Earth’s climate.
13. Meteorology – the study of the changes in temperature, air
pressure, moisture, and wind direction in the troposphere.
14. Geologists study the forces that have shaped
Earth throughout its long history. Geologists
study the chemical and physical
characteristics of rock, the material that
forms Earth’s hard surface. Geologists
describe the features sculpted in rock and soil
by water, wind, and waves.
Environmental scientists, study Earth’s
environment and resources.
Environmental scientists work together
to determine the effects of human
activities on Earth’s land, air, water,
and living things. They try to solve
problems, such as pollution, that result
from the use of resources.
15. Environmental Science – The study of Earth’s
environments, resources, and the effects of human
activities on the air, land, water, and living things.
