33. Article: Earth science
- www.wikipedia.org
- Earth science.
- Earth science (also known as geoscience or the geosciences), is an all-embracing term for the sciences related to the planet Earth. It is arguably a special case in planetary science, being the only known life-bearing planet. There are both reductionist and holistic approaches to Earth science. The major historic disciplines use physics, mathematics, chemistry, and biology to build a quantitative understanding of the principal areas or spheres of the Earth system: .
- Geology covers the rocky parts of the Earth (or lithosphere) including the planet's core, mantle and crust. ...
- Oceanography and Limnology describe respectively the marine and freshwater domains of the watery parts of the Earth (or hydrosphere). ...
- Atmospheric sciences cover the gaseous parts of the Earth (or atmosphere). ...
- Glaciology covers the icy parts of the Earth (or cryosphere) .
- Furthermore, other modern disciplines known collectively as Earth system science approach the entire Earth as a system in its own right, which evolves as a result of positive and negative feedbacks between constituent systems: .
- Gaia theories explain the behaviour of the Earth system in terms of the influence of the biosphere. ...
- Like all other scientists, earth scientists apply the scientific method: formulate hypotheses after observation of and gathering data about natural phenomena and then test those hypotheses. In earth science, data usually plays a critical role in testing and formulating hypotheses. The systems approach, enabled by the combined use of computer models as hypotheses tested by global satellite and ship-board data, is increasingly giving scientists the ability to explain the past and possible future behaviour of the Earth system. ...

- Science Curriculum.
- Earth/Environmental Science .
- This information is designed to aid, enhance, and encourage an inquiry approach to teaching and assessing the Strands, Goals and Objectives of the Earth/Environmental Science curriculum. ...
- Nature of Science - This strand is designed to help students understand the human dimensions of science, the nature of scientific thought, and the role of science in society. The earth and environmental sciences are particularly rich in examples of science as a human endeavor, its historical perspectives, and the development of scientific understanding. ...
- Science as a Human Endeavor - Intellectual honesty and an ethical tradition are hallmarks of the practice of science. ... This aspect of the nature of science can be implemented by designing instruction that encourages students to work collaboratively in groups to design investigations, formulate hypotheses, collect data, reach conclusions, and present their findings to their classmates.
- The content studied in earth/environmental science is an opportunity to present science as the basis for civil engineering, mining, geology, oceanography, astronomy, and the environmental technical trades. The content diversity lets us look at science as a vocation. Scientist and technician are just two of the many careers in which an earth and environmental sciences background is necessary.
- Perhaps the most important aspect of this strand is that science is an integral part of society and is therefore relevant to students lives. ...
- Although science history includes accounts of serendipitous scientific discoveries, most development of scientific concepts and technological innovation occurs in response to a specific problem or conflict. Both great advances and gradual knowledge building in science and technology have profound effects on society. ... Some examples are Eratosthenes determination of the size of the earth, Wegeners apparent "fit" of the continents, Keplers laws of planetary motion, and James Huttons simple yet powerful idea that the earth history must be explained by what we see happening now. ...

- 4 Flat-Earth. ...
- 5 Flat Earth in song.
- A renewed belief in a flat Earth was popularized in the 19th century by the Englishman Samuel Birley Rowbotham, who, after his 1849 publication of a 16-page-pamphlet, Zetetic Astronomy: A Description of Several Experiments which Prove that the Surface of the Sea Is a Perfect Plane and that the Earth Is Not a Globe!, spent the next 35 years publishing and lecturing about his beliefs. ... For example, Rowbotham believed that observations of lighthouses by mariners at considerable distances defied the theory of the Earth's rotundity. ... He also uses biblical references as Revelation 7:1 where it refers to the "four corners" of the earth. Rather than take the common view that this was "language of appearance", he interpreted it as a literal flat earth teaching. ...
- Flat Earth from Space .
- In 1956, Samuel Shenton, renamed the American UZS to International Flat Earth Society. With the advent of the space program, the Society found itself confronted with pictures of Earth made by orbiting satellites and, eventually, by astronauts who had landed on the moon. When confronted with first NASA photographs of Earth from deep space, Shenton reportedly remarked: "It's easy to see how a photograph like that could fool the untrained eye. ...

45. Article: Impact event
- en2.wikipedia.org
- (Redirected from Earth impacts) .
- Impact events are caused by the collision of large meteoroids, asteroids or comets with Earth and may sometimes be followed by mass extinctions of life. For discussion of impacts in general, not just on Earth, see crater. ...
- 1 The geology of Earth impacts.
- The geology of Earth impacts .
- Centuries ago, the Western vision of the past saw an Earth that had been created a few thousand years ago, and had been shaped since that time by a number of global cataclysms (see catastrophism). This view gradually gave way to the consensus that the Earth was several billion years old, and that its features reflected the slow processes of gradual change. ...
- Since 1970, this view has gradually expanded to accommodate the fact that the Earth has in fact gone through periods of abrupt and catastrophic change due to the impact of large asteroids and comets on the planet. ...
- The fact that this modified view of the Earth's history did not emerge until recently seems surprising. Based on crater formation rates determined from the Earth's closest celestial partner, Luna, astronomers have determined that during the last 600 million years the Earth has been struck by 60 objects larger than 5 kilometers or more across. ...
- The largest mass extinction to have affected life on Earth was the Permian-Triassic one that ended the Permian Period 250 million years ago and killed-off 90% of all species. ...
- In 1980 Luis Alvarez and his son Walter led a team from the University of California, Berkeley that discovered unusually high concentrations of iridium, an element that is rare in the Earth's crust but relatively abundant in many meteorites From the amount and distribution of iridium present in the 65 million year old "iridium layer" , the Alvarez team later estimated that an asteroid of 10-14 kilometers must have collided with the earth. ...
- Chromium isotopic ratios are homogeneous within the earth, therefore this isotopic anomalies exclude a volcanic origin which was also proposed as a cause for the iridium enrichment. ...
- Nonetheless it is now widely believed, if a little on faith, that mass extinctions due to impacts are an occasional event in the history of the Earth. Indeed, in the early history of the Earth, about four billion years ago, they were almost certainly common since the skies were far more full of "junk" than at present. Such impacts could have included strikes by asteroids hundreds of kilometers in diameter, with explosions so powerful that they vaporized all the Earth's oceans. It was not until this "hard rain" began to slacken, so it seems, that life could have begun to evolve on Earth. ...

- This of course, was the origin for a large number of science fiction scenarios. ...
- Some of these concerned the attempts by the Martian race(s) to take the desirable warmer wetter world of Earth: .
- Weinbaum's A Martian Odyssey, in which alien intelligent beings are described who really don't think or act like humans (a rare feature for pulp science fiction of the time) .
- Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet, an interesting example of theological science fiction. ...
- The characters in these stories could be in small communities in the Arizona desert, but placing them on Mars emphasises their isolation, both from one another and from Earth. ...
- (Just as his story "The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth" was a farewell to the old science fictional Venus). ...
- A common theme, particularly amongst American writers, is of a Martian colony in revolt for independence from Earth. ...
- In Robert Heinlein's The Number of the Beast, the heroes flee Earth in a car capable of flight in six dimensions, and find Mars colonised by the British. ...
