<br/><br/> Earth science is the branch of science that focuses on the study of the physical constitution of the Earth and its atmosphere. This discipline covers a range of fields of natural sciences related to planet Earth. It studies the physical characteristics of the Earth. Within this field, the study focuses on four main areas, namely, the lithosphere, the atmosphere, the biosphere, and the hydrosphere. Earth science is closely linked to planetary science, which investigates planetary systems, moons, planets, and their formation. Major sub-disciplines within Earth science include planetary geology, planetary astronomy, and comparative planetary science. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of Earth Sciences. In this book, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of Earth Sciences, as easy and informative as possible, for the readers. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
