Lesson 1: Introduction to Earth Sciences.

Hello Everyone.

_{canva designs.}

I am glad I was able to come across your teachings ma'am @alessgsl, I never knew the importance of earth sciences until I read your post. From the class I was able to learn the importance of earth sciences.

The study of Earth sciences or geoscience will for sure help make our planet a better and a safe place to be, many lack the knowledge of earth sciences and they end up doing things that affects the planet negatively, if such persons are opportuned to study Earth sciences maybe they will be able to do things right to enhance the safety of our planet.

No doubt the study of Earth sciences will do more good to our planet.

Earth sciences can be defined as another branch of science which studies the structure, properties of the earth, it also studies the process involved in the biotic evolution of the earth. No doubt understanding how the earth works and revolves round its orbit will help us care for the our planet better.

World population is on the rise, this simply means there is an increase in the demand of natural resources used by humans which causes our planet to suffer natural hazards, pollution of different types, in order to support our existence we must learn about earth sciences to enable us understand how the atmosphere, biosphere e.t.c works.

No doubt the study of Earth sciences is very important in order to sustain life on our planet. There are lots of reasons the study of earth sciences is important and these includes:

• Without earth sciences we won't know how the lithosphere, biosphere and atmosphere works.
• Without earth sciences we won't know how to take proper care of our planet and without proper care of the planet, the planet is prune to suffer natural disasters.
• Without earth sciences we won't know how the earth works and revolves round it orbits.

There are lots of disciplines under earth sciences but geography catches my attention more, I have been opportuned to study geography in school and it covers a lot about earth sciences and this made me fall in love with this discipline of earth sciences.

Geography simply refers to the study of land, it features, and living things that inhabits the earth surface. Geography covers almost everything about earth sciences, taught us about rock formations, the molten magma and molten lava. For the love of geography I even had that thought of becoming a geographer but on this side of the world, they are not respected.

For sure the study of Earth sciences can help people take care of our planet, the exposure to earth sciences will make people understand the dangers the planet is exposed to for example the destruction of the lithosphere contaminates the water, creates massive sinkholes and can even cause erosion but without the study of Earth sciences many won't know.

No doubt the study of Earth sciences can help people take better care of the planet.

In conclusion, earth sciences is important as it gives us the knowledge of how to take care of our planet and sustain life on the planet.

Thanks.
