Question

Explain why is it helpful to identify specialties and subspecialties of earth science.

Answer 1

 Because Earth Sciences covers a lot of ground (pun intended) and nobody has the time or ability to do everything well and thouroughly. The field is very highly specialized in its subdivisions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Specialities and subspecialities help us to delve deeper into the subject of earth science. It is equally important for us to understand the impacts of various areas.

Explanation:

• Earth Sciences is a vast subject dealing with pollution, climate, oceans, energy resources, human impacts.

• For us to act accordingly, it is essential to have a deeper look into the features.

• There are specializations or subspecialities in each feature to be understood.

• Scientists are working on each subspeciality to make informed decisions in order to avoid catastrophic failures and disasters as much as possible.

• Disasters are unavoidable but minimizing the effects is what we can do.
