ABSTRACT

Earth science, often referred as geological science in academia, is the branch of science concerned with determining the exact position of geographical points, the shape and size of the Earth. The branch of applied mathematics that deals with the measurement of the shape, area of large tracts of country, the exact position of geographical locations, the curvature, shape, and dimensions of the Earth is known as Earth science. It is the scientific study of the origin of the Earth along with its rocks, minerals, land forms, and life forms, and of the processes that have affected them over the course of the Earth’s history, and the study of the structure of a specific region of the Earth, including its rocks, soils, mountains, fossils, and other features.
