Favorite Earth Science Topics

Geology- Chemical & Mechanical Weathering is my favorite subject in geology. Chemical Weathering is the transformation of rock into one or more new compounds. Mechanical Weathering is when the rock changes, but keeps it's mineral composition.
Meteorology-Air Masses is my favorite subject in meteorology. The air masses include the mP,mT,cP,cT air masses.

Oceanography- My favorite topic in oceanography is about the ocean basin floor. The ocean basin floor has deep-ocean trenches , abyssal plains, seamounts, and guyots.
Astronomy- My favorite subject in astronomy is the Solar System. The Solar System has 8 planets, an Asteroid Belt, and a Kuiper Belt.
