Detailed explanation-1: -It is through our knowledge of earth science that we can discover sources of energy (coal, oil, gas, uranium, geothermal), mineral resources (iron, copper, nickel, etc.), and fresh water. Understanding the dynamic nature of the Earth’s crust and interior also helps us to predict and avoid natural hazards.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earth science knowledge enables us to think globally and act locally-to make sound decisions about issues important in our lives as individuals and citizens. People who understand how Earth systems work can make informed decisions about where to buy or build a home out of harm’s way.
Detailed explanation-3: -We can recognize how our activities have altered the environment in many ways and the climate in increasingly serious ways, and how to avoid more severe changes in the future. We can use our knowledge of Earth to understand other planets in our solar system, as well as those around distant stars.
