What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

I need you to do something for me man. I need you to go to a dollar store, Walmart, whatever and get a "Globe" G-L-O-B-E. If they need details, say "Planet Earth" or "World".

Believe it or not I've been told that a Globe is the most accurate map when it comes to showing the entire world. Hawaii and Alaska should be the same shapes you see here on your typical American map but I need you to see their distance from each other. Trust bro it surprised me too!
