Earth Science will be separated into two major units: Meteorology and Geology. In meteorology, the focus will be on the structure and composition of the atmosphere, as well as, how gases cycle within our atmosphere. The production of energy from the sun and stars will be related to the various types of electromagnetic radiation. The processes of evaporation and condensation, as they pertain to the hydrologic cycle and the how these processes interact with the oceans, will also be discussed. In geology, plate tectonics and the composition of the Earth, rocks and minerals, and Earth history will be explored.
