2. What is Oceanography?
11
Atmosphere, climate, weather, clouds, precipitation
Meteorology
12
Meteorology Vocabulary Words
atmosphere, troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, exosphere, air pressure, humidity, barometer, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, air mass, weather systems, warm front, cold front stationary front, occluded front, cyclone, hurricane, typhoon, weather data, wind, temperature, weather, climate
13
Meteorology is the study of weather and climate.
Both weather and climate describes the condition of the atmosphere. But weather is for a shorter time , like days, and climate is for a longer time, usually 30 or more years.

4. What is Geology?
18
Plate Tectonics describes the motion of tectonic plates the lead to earthquakes, volcanic eruption, subduction, and many more
19
Earth science empowers us to think globally and act locally.
5. Why study Earth Environmental Science? Earth science empowers us to think globally and act locally. to make sound decisions about issues important in our lives as individuals and citizens.
20
5. Why Earth Environmental Science?
Just as Earth systems directly affect each of us, we — as individuals, communities and nations — affect our planet. We need sustain our limited Earth resources!
21
Ecology is the study of how to protect and promote of environment.
Ecology deals with biomes like the tropical rainforest, grassland, deserts, taiga, and tundra. It also tackles issues on global warming and climate change.

Why do we need to conserve water
Why do we need to conserve water? When the amount of water on Earth is the same as the amount water during the Jurassic. Think! Of, relating to, or being the period of geologic time from about 200 to 146 million years ago, the second period of the Mesozoic Era, in which dinosaurs were the dominant form of terrestrial animal life, and the earliest birds appeared

Formative Assessment 1. Stars are powered by nuclear fusion. Hydrogen is the fuel of stars? What is the most abundant substance in the universe? The sun make life of Earth possible. How? 2. The oceans of earth greatly affect Earth’s weather? How? 3. Weather is the present condition of the atmosphere? Explain 4. The earth’s crust is constantly changing. How? 5. Why is there a need for global sustainable development?
