EARTH SCIENCE

- Is the study of our Earth, its lif-

supporting properties, materials, ad
geologic processes occurring in its
layers; and important natural changes
in its over-all environment.
- It is interrelated with other sciences:geology,
oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy.
Geology
-  is the study of the structure, evolution and
dynamics of the Earth and its natural mineral
and energy resources.
Oceanography
- is the study of the physical, chemical, and
biological features of the ocean, including the
ocean's ancient history, its current condition,
and its future. ... It is the study of the ocean's
plants and animals and their interactions with
the marine environment.
Meteorology
-is the science dealing with the atmosphere
and its phenomena, including both weather
and climate.
Astronomy
-is the study of everything in the universe
beyond Earth's atmosphere. That includes
objects we can see with our naked eyes,
like the Sun , the Moon , the planets, and
the stars .
The study of Earth Science develops an
understanding of earth’s structure, composition,
and natural processes that form a significant
part of one’s environment.

-Investigation in earth Science include those

phenomena that range in size from atoms to
galaxies and beyond.
ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE
Cosmology- (from Greek κόσμος, kosmos
"world" and -λογία, -logia "study of")
-is the study of the universe, including its
properties, structure , and evolution.
The universe began 10-15 billion years ago,
when a primordial explosion called the BIG
BANG occurred . The first 3 minutes after,
great quantities speeds.
According to BIG BANG THEORY , all of the
energy and matter of the universe were
compressed into hot and dense state. About
13.7 billion years our universe began as a
cataclysmic explosion, which continued to
expand, cool, and evolve its currents state.
Temperature decreased sufficiently to allow
clumps of matter to collect. These materials
formed the first nebulae, which evolved into a
first stars and galaxies. Our sun and planetary
system were formed 5 billions later.
EDWIN P. HUBBLE
-In 1930 an American,astronomer showed that
the universe is expanding. The space is
formed by the Big Bang was filled by
intense, extremely energetic high
frequency radiation called the PRIMEVAL
FIREBALL.
 CREATIONIST THEORY
This theory states that GOD , the Supreme Being
created the whole universe out of nothing. The
proof can be read in the Holy Bible stipulating
that God created the heavens and the earth
including the man.
 OSCILLATING UNIVERSE
THEORY
This theory was proposed by a Russian- born
US cosmologist George Gamow who
helped explain the Big Bang Theory. He
said that the expansion of the universe will
eventually come to a halt then it collapses
up to the time that the universe will return
to its original form.
 STEADY -STATE THEORY
This theory states that the universe has always
been the same since the beginning and will
remain in its present state until eternity. It
further claims that new galaxies appear as a
result of the drifting apart of other galaxies.

OUR EXPANDING UNIVERSE
The universe sometimes called cosmos is still
expanding in a Doppler red shift in the
light we receive. The red shift also called
cosmological red shift shows an increasing
distance between us and other galaxies in
the universe. Red shifted galaxy light
shows not only that the universe is
expanding but also that is expanding
slowly. Every bit of matter in the primordial
explosion is attracted by gravity toward
every bit of matter.
ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Marquis de Laplace
- In 1976 a French astronomer, proposed the
nebular hypothesis:
A. That the solar system evolved from a
slowly rotating gaseous cloud.
B. As it cooled by radiation and contracted, it
rotated faster ad faster, causing the gas to
take a disk-like form.
C. The process continued, forming planets at
various distances from the sun.
 Answer the following:
1. How did the universe start based on the Creationist
Theory?
2. How can you prove that the universe is expanding?

3. If you are to formulate your own theory about the

origin of the universe, how would you explain?
II. Complete the statement. Choose only one.
1. I do not believe in any theory about the origin of the
universe because __________________________.

2. I believe in the _________________ Theory

because____________________________.
