begins to increase with altitude‚ and this trend continues in the thermosphere. Because the atmosphere in the thermosphere is so thin‚ a thermometer cannot be used to measure the temperature accurately and special instruments are needed. The Earth interior is divided into 4 layers. The properties of the Earth’s interior have been inferred primarily from earthquake waves. Distinct characteristics are found within each layer such as density‚ temperature‚ and pressure. OBJECTIVE: In this

Earth Science is an all-embracing term for the sciences related to the planet Earth. It is arguably a special case in planetary science‚ the Earth being the only known life-bearing planet. There are both reductionist and holistic approaches to Earth sciences. The formal discipline of Earth sciences may include the study of the atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ oceans and biosphere‚ as well as the solid earth. Typically‚ Earth scientists will use tools from physics‚ chemistry‚ biology‚ chronology and mathematics

1. Summarize advances over time in determining the age of the Earth‚ including the importance of the discovery or radioactivity. Herodotus counted layers of earth near the Nile River in 450 B.C.E. The Bible was used in the Middle Ages to compute the age of the Earth. The 18th and 19th centuries brought a more scientific look into determining the age of the Earth by studying the salinities of the oceans‚ the rates of sedimentation‚ and models of cooling of different materials in order to calculate
