What is Earth Science

"Earth Science has acquired an undeserved reputation for being a dry and dusty subject. As is true of any subject, earth science can be made to appear dry and dusty if it is presented in the appropriate form, such as lengthy, encyclopedic listing of our planet's various parts and processes."
