Earth Science
Encompasses all sciences that seek to
understand
• Earth
• Earth's neighbors in space
Earth Science includes
• Geology - literally the “study of Earth”
• Oceanography – a study of the ocean

People and the environment
Environment
• Surrounds and influences organisms
• Physical environment encompasses water, air,
soil, and rock
• Term “environmental” is usually reserved for
those aspects that focus on the relationships
between people and the natural environment

People and the environment
Resources
• An important focus of the Earth sciences
• Includes water, soil, minerals, and energy
• Two broad categories
• Renewable – can be replenished (examples include
plants and energy from water and wind)
• Nonrenewable – metals (examples include metals
and fuels)

Scientific inquiry
Science assumes the natural world is
• Consistent
• Predictable
Goal of science
• To discover patterns in nature
• To use the knowledge to predict
![Page 11: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Scientific inquiry
An idea can become a
• Hypothesis (tentative or untested explanation)
• Theory (tested and confirmed hypothesis)
• Paradigm (a theory that explains a large number
of interrelated aspects of the natural world)
Scientific method
• Gather facts through observation
• Formulate hypotheses and theories
![Page 12: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Scientific inquiry
Scientific knowledge is gained through
• Following systematic steps
• Collecting facts
• Developing a hypothesis
• Conduct experiments
• Re-examine the hypothesis and accept, modify, or
reject
• Theories that withstand examination
• Totally unexpected occurrences
![Page 13: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Early evolution of Earth
Origin of Earth
• Most researchers believe that Earth and the
other planets formed at essentially the same
time
• Nebular hypothesis
• Solar system evolved from an enormous rotating
cloud called the solar nebula
• Nebula was composed mostly of hydrogen and
helium
![Page 14: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Early evolution of Earth
Origin of Earth
• Nebular hypothesis continued
• About 5 billion years ago the nebula began to contract
• Assumes a flat, disk shape with the protosun (pre-Sun) at the center
• Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps
• Larger outer planets began forming from fragments with a high percentage of ices
![Page 15: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Early evolution of Earth
Formation of Earth’s layered structure
• As Earth formed, the decay of radioactive elements and heat from high-velocity impacts caused the temperature to increase
• Iron and nickel began to melt and sink toward the center
• Lighter rocky components floated outward, toward the surface
• Gaseous material escaped from Earth’s interior to produce the primitive atmosphere
![Page 17: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Earth's “Spheres"
Hydrosphere
• Ocean – the most prominent feature of the
hydrosphere
• Nearly 71% of Earth's surface
• About 97% of Earth's water
• Also includes fresh water found in streams,
lakes, and glaciers, as well as that found
underground
![Page 18: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Earth's “Spheres"
Atmosphere
• Thin, tenuous blanket of air
• One half lies below 5.6 kilometers (3.5 miles)
Biosphere
• Includes all life
• Concentrated near the surface in a zone that
extends from the ocean floor upward for several
kilometers into the atmosphere
![Page 19: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Earth's “Spheres"
Solid Earth
• Based on compositional differences, it consists
of the crust, mantle, and core
• Divisions of the outer portion are based on how
materials behave
• Lithosphere - rigid outer layer
• Divisions of Earth’s surface - continents and ocean
basins
![Page 20: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Earth’s layered structure

Earth system science
Earth is a dynamic body with many separate
but highly interacting parts or spheres
Earth system science studies Earth as a
system composed of numerous parts, or
subsystems
System - any size group of interacting parts
that form a complex whole
![Page 22: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Earth system science
System
• Closed systems are self-contained (e.g. an
automobile cooling system)
• Open systems - both energy and matter flow
into and out of the system (e.g. a river system)
![Page 23: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Earth system science
Feedback mechanisms
• Negative-feedback mechanisms resist change
and stabilize the system
• Positive-feedback mechanisms enhance the
system
Earth as a system
• Consists of a nearly endless array of
subsystems (e.g. hydrologic cycle, rock cycle)
![Page 24: Lecture Outlines PowerPoint Chapter 1 Tarbuck/Lutgens · Earth Science Chapter 1. Earth Science ... •Inner planets begin to form from metallic and rocky clumps ... •Sources of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042801/5abf2ae37f8b9aa15e8db7bd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Earth system science
Earth as a system
• Sources of energy
• Sun – drives external processes such as weather,
ocean circulation and erosional processes
• Earth’s interior – drives internal processes including
volcanoes, earthquakes and mountain building
• Humans are part of the Earth system
