EARTH AND LIFE SCIENCES

It is a statement where we can say it is true or not.

Place wherein the interaction happens between, non-living and living things

4 subsystems of Earth

This is the study of the earth's rocky parts found on crust and it's historical evolution

Study of the physical features of the earth's surface.

This field studies the shape of the earth and study the characteristics and properties of rocks.

Cover the earth's outermost layser which is the crust.Major sub-disciplines pf soil sciences include edophology and pedology.

Two major sub-disciplines of soil sciences

studies the marine and fresh water domains of the hydrosphere

Studies the icy parts of the eart also known as cryosphere and it's effects to the environment

Study of the gaseous parts of the earth known as the Atmosphere.The major sub-disciplines are meteorology,climatology,atmospheric,chemistry and atmospheric physics

Structure of the Earth

Layers of the Earth

It is the outermost layser of the earth comprimising about 8-40 km in dept.

It deals with the study of the physucal features of Earth's Surface.It also deals with the different processes and patterns in the natural environment as opposed to the cultural domain of human geography

The innermost part of the earth,it is divided into two parts.

it is biblical in origin asserting that everything in the universe, including humans were created by a supreme being in a span of 7 days

Speaks of the Earth formation in a scientific perspective.It states that the universe is formed sometime between 10 and 20 billion years ago a cataclysmic explosion

It is the thin, life -give gaseous envelope of the Earth.It'a composition divided into;major components (N.O);variable components(water vapor,earosols)

Life-large ecosystem-zone that life inhabits

Make up the solid portion of the eartg, it's structure and land.

Earth is called "The Blue Planet" or the "Blue marble" because of its water components.

Pure(made of some substance)

More than one mineral

Some have fossils

Some have crystals

No definite shape

Usually have shape

Stock or supply of anything that can be drawn on by anyone to function effectively.

A solid, inorganic substance of natural occurrence.

A conglomerate of various minerals formed on earth's surface.

Naturally occuring solid where metals or minerals extracted for profile

Peoperty of minerals to reflect light.

Optical property of minerals to allow light pass through

Allows light to pass through.

Allows some light to pass through

Does not allow ro pass through

Optical perception described through certain color categories.

Mineral color in powder form

4 Characteristics of Mineral

Example of Luster

Part of Penetrability

A natural process and evebt that is a potential threat to human life and property

3 types of Natural Hazard

A hazardous evebt that accurs over a limited time span in a defined area

A massive disaster that requires significant expenditure of money and a long time of recovery of the place

Invlove the creation, movement,and destruction of tectonic plates

The largest of the geologic sub-cycles and is linked to other sub-cycles

The movement of water from thw oceans to the atmosphere and back again to the ocean.

The transfer or cycling of a chemical element or elements through the atmosphere,lithospere, hydrosphere and Biosphere

A natural geologic event that can endanger human lives and threaten human property.

3 Earthquake features

Place on the surface pf the eartg above where the ruptured rocks broke up to procedure an earthquake.

Point of initial breaking or ripturing within the earth.

directly below the focus

Effects of Earthquake and linkage

A downslide of a mass of rock,debris,earth or soil.

Forces can be determined by:
