Earth Science

Earth Science

Earth Science teaches everything from the layers of the 

Atmosphere, to the sedimentary, igneous, & metamorphic

Rocks, to the 

Tectonic plates that are 

Home to a number of different 

Species that are 

Contained within their distinctive ecosystems constantly 

Interacting with one another. From

Ecology, geology, oceanography, astronomy, to meteorology that includes 

Natural disasters, Earth Science is 

Composed of an 

Excess of interesting earthly facts.

Spherical Blue Planet

It’s a spherical blue planet,

suspended by gravity,

in constant elliptical motion.

Earth is its name,

often displayed as a globe,

with its five unwavering oceans.

Home to varying forms of life,

from simple to complex,

they are all ultimately interwoven. 

Such unique organisms 

with their own possibilities 

causing their own commotion.

How lucky they are

to inhabit such an eccentric planet

in a universe that is so complex, vast, and open.

Extraordinary Science

Do you like science? Science to me

is Newton’s apple-tree gravity.

Albert Einstein’s crazy equation;

Earth’s seasoned tilt and day rotation.

It’s when Neil Armstrong stepped on the Moon;

How penicillin’s no longer immune.

The theory of evolution;

Starting a carbon revolution.

Organisms still developing;

Why the dinosaurs were threatening.

I think it all started with big bang theory …

but science is so limitless and extraordinary!

Geology 

Geology 

Gigantic rocks and the study of those solid materials that cover the

Entire Earth's surface.

Overtime the weathering and erosion of these rocks form

Layers and several land masses such as the 

Ocean floor, volcanoes, islands, and continents; all of which are observed in 

Geology. Landslides, avalanches, eruptions, from 

Years of time passed, it is amazing learning about the past. 

Beautiful Chaos

The Earth is not a static entity,

in fact it is very dynamic in nature, 

from the glaciers in Yosemite,

to the   mighty craters, cause by meteorites

that collided eons ago, 

to the eruptions that cause lava to start flowing,

the Earth is continuously changing, evolving, and growing.

Mountains and faults would cease to exist,

without friction and subduction of plate tectonics,

or even the theory of continental drift. 

Without erosion of dissolved materials

being deposited from one location to another,

these beautiful structures would not have been formed.

Take and create, for even chaos can be transformed. 

 A knowledge of geology

Can help with archaeology

For those who seek our ancient human roots,

Removing the impediment 

Of overlying sediment

And proving that our ancestors weren’t brutes.

They lived, as now we know,

Where ancient rivers flow;

But river courses change as time goes by.

So you need to find the places

Where those rivers left their traces-

It’s data geo-science can supply.

River terraces, raised beaches, 

Brickhearths, ‘head,’ ‘solution features,’

Now buried, unexplored, perhaps unknown, 

Can indicate a site

Where investigators might

Turn up a crafted flint or a butchered bone.

If carefully assessed,

Such evidence can suggest

How Paleolithic people once survived.

And thus, with these two ‘ologies,

Helped along by new technologies,

Geoarchaeology has arrived! 

Meteorology

Meteorology

Meteorology measures the changes in the 

Earth’s atmosphere.

Temperature, air pressure, water vapor, and the interactions between them in our

Environment are what meteorologists study. They find out when weather events will

Occur, such as 

Rainfall, rainstorms, or hurricanes. Using information

Obtained from the 

Land, sea, and in the troposphere they can make their 

Own predictions for short and long-range forecasts. 

Go turn on the television to the weather channel and  

You can see what meteorology is all about!

Water Cycle

Dark cumulonimbus clouds form,

Condensing and filling with water, 

Early signs of a thunderstorm.

It commences to drizzle and the silence begins to falter,

With the soft pitter patter of drops,

Gently hitting the ground. 

The wind picks up and water levels start to rise,

The streams turn muddy and begin to overflow,

Flashes of light begin to materialize in the sky,

An abrupt boom of thunder makes itself known,

Visible rain drops fall harder,

Splink, Splash, onto Soil.

For it is an incessant cycle,

Water goes up as evaporation, 

Forms clouds as condensation,

Then comes down as precipitation.

This process is necessary for survival.

When Nature Turns Nasty

When nature turns nasty,

And the earth gets hot,

We could have a volcano,

Blowing off its top.

When nature turns nasty,

And the fierce winds blow,

Hot air meeting cold,

We might have a tornado.

When nature turns nasty,

Temperatures start to fall,

We could all be left freezing,

Below minus zero.

When nature turns nasty,

We’ve got to be aware,

We could have tsunami,

Earth quakes everywhere.

When nature turns nasty,

We could have torrential rain,

Pelting down on roof tops,

Over filling our drains.

When nature turns nasty,

Flames of fire everywhere,

Trees and bushes burning,

Smoke rising in the air.

When nature turns nasty,

Let’s all be aware,

Helping each other,

Showing that we care.
