Understanding Earth Science Basics

Earth science or geoscience is the study of the physical characteristics of Earth and its atmosphere. It deals with topics ranging from earthquakes and raindrops to fossils. Specifically, it examines the planet's physical constitution, including its geology, lithosphere, and interior structure, as well as its atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Plate tectonics, in which the Earth's outer crust consists of plates that move and interact, plays a key role in making the planet habitable.
