WHAT ARE THE FOUR MAIN BRANCHES OF EARTH SCIENCE?
The four branches of Earth science are meteorology, astronomy, geology, and oceanography. Earth science is the study of the basis and structure of planet Earth

ASTROLOGY IS A FIELD OF STUDY THAT IS NOT SCIENCEAstrology, or astromancy, consists of several systems of divination based on the premise that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world.

HYDROLOGY IS THE STUDY OF THE MOVEMENT, DISTRIBUTION, AND QUALITY OF WATER ON EARTH AND OTHER PLANETS, INCLUDING THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE, WATER RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL WATERSHED SUSTAINABILITY.

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS PEOPLE BELIEVED THE EARTH WAS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE
BACK THEN NOW
![Page 20: Four main areas of earth science](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103015/54bfc50f4a795950748b456b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A STATEMENT THAT CAN USUALLY BE WORDED IF, THEN, AND BECAUSE IS CALLED A HYPOTHESIS
![Page 21: Four main areas of earth science](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103015/54bfc50f4a795950748b456b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
A GOOD HYPOTHESIS IS ONE THAT CAN BE TESTED
![Page 22: Four main areas of earth science](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103015/54bfc50f4a795950748b456b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
METEORITES MAY HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE FOR THE EXTINCTION OF DINOSAURS.

A GOOD SCIENTIST WILL REPEAT AN EXPERIMENT OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO ENSURE THEY ALWAYS GET THE SAME RESULTS.
