Index of Earth science articles
Earth science (also known as geoscience, the geosciences or the Earth Sciences), is an all-embracing term for the sciences related to the planet Earth.[1] It is arguably a special case in planetary science, the Earth being the only known life-bearing planet. There are both reductionist and holistic approaches to Earth science. There are four major disciplines in earth sciences, namely geography, geology, geophysics and geodesy. These major disciplines use physics, chemistry, biology, chronology and mathematics to build a quantitative understanding of the principal areas or spheres of the Earth system.

gollark: > feel free to unleash your wrath on CCNo, I like CC.
gollark: If anyone makes a "realistic" printer mod I WILL orbital-laser-strike them.
gollark: Oh yes, printers, the enemy of mankind.
gollark: But surely if the users think you're nice they'll try and get specifically you more often.
gollark: Why would you LIKE interacting with users? Have you SEEN users?
