Week 1

Introduction to Earth Science

            Have you ever wondered the mysteries of the Earth? Believe it or not there are many you need to know about the planet Earth. This is only a part of your journey about knowing about our planet Earth. 




Relation of Earth Science to the field of Advertising

     I am an advertising student in UST studying the subject Earth and life Science. It is an inspiration for every student in our course to know about the subject matter. It helps students to visualize and get inspiration from different learning. 

    Our class starts at 10:00 am, a perfect time for learning. Our professor, Mr.Crisencio Paner, introduced us to Earth Sciences and its branches. First off is the history of the Earth then followed by a inspirational video about the Earth. Let me share you a little knowledge i learned in class...

What is Earth Science?
    Earth science (also known as geoscience) deals with study of the planet Earth. 




Formation of Earth

      The Big Bang Theory can start explaining about the Earth’s formation. According to Big Bang Theory, our universe was empty but everything begun with a super massive gaseous point. Then, randomly, enough energy was created to break the huge bond that was holding a huge body together. That breakage made the body to explode and created super heated particles that were dispersed all over the space. Right after, protons, neutrons, electrons, and their anti-particles begin to form in the space. Those super heated particles begin to cool down by giving off energy. In return, they created hydrogen and other massive atoms. As time passed, more atoms were created and they started to pull each other with atomic forces and gravitational forces. The bodies became more massive and created a fusion. That fusion eventually exploded and sent out more massive atoms into the universe. Those atoms were later combined and created planets, smaller stars, asteroids, and numerous other solid bodies. 


Branches of Earth Science


Geology  The study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth and the processes that shape the Earth 

Oceanography Branch of Earth Science. The study of the sea (meaning oceans, bays, and seas).  

Meteorology Studies the Earth's atmosphere as it relates to weather and climate. 

Astronomy Studies of the universe. 

Environmental Science Special branch of earth science. The study of how humans interact with the environment 
 




If you think about it, it seems like the subject is hard to study but it really helps us students to be inspired and come up with creative outputs just by studying the Earth. It is only our first week tackling about Earth. I wonder what will I learn next. Stay updated on my blogs to know what will I learn and share to you next time...
