The main difference between Earth Science and the rest of the sciences (except for astrophysics) is the use of “DEEP TIME”. For us a million years passes like a 15-minute break.
Geological processes can take place more slowly than people can notice. But because they run for extremely long periods of time their effects are great.
Water recharge in Baton Rouge takes 1000 yearsClimate change has been accelerated by CO2 emissionsover the past 100 years.

The “Real” Scientific Method-IThe “Real” Scientific Method-I•A philosophical approach
•A deductive reasoning approach (Starts with an OLD IDEA)
•Starts with a need… to explain a trend….
a pattern…
•Explains observations in a NEW WAY using one or several reasons. Reasons can be a thought experiment, a computer program, another predictable observation that “makes sense”
•Verification that the explanation works by many experts

•If you know the answer already that is not science
•Science is an intellectual process
•Barriers to science are human e.g., greed, dishonesty, fear of change, hunger for power, cultural conditioning, politics ...

Pre-scientific Medicine(pre-Germ Theory)
Humours: yellow bileyellow bile, black bile, phlegmphlegm, bloodblood
“Methods of treatment like blood letting, forced vomiting and purges were aimed at expelling a harmful surplus of a humour. They were still in the mainstream of American medicine after the Civil War. Other methods used herbs and foods associated with a particular humour to counter symptoms of disease, for instance: people who had a fever and were sweating were considered hot and wet and therefore given substances associated with cold and dry.” (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, 2006)

•Seismic waves – illuminate Earth’s interior
• Compression and shear waves behave differently and are bent or absorbed at layer (chemical) boundaries within the Earth
•Earth’s interior is layered according to density
• Surface rock density is less than 3.5 g/cm3
• Whole Earth density is 5.5 g/cm3
• Core density must be about 8 g/cm3
