Earth Sciences & Botany Recap

“Earth sciences & botany” comes from the English
earth sciences & botany
, which, loosely translated, means “earth sciences & botany.”

Botany specifically studies the science of plant life, while earth sciences looks at the functioning of our planet, drawing from other scientific disciplines to try to understand how the planet Earth works and how it evolved to its current state. Like, back in the day, Earth used to be a molten pile of dirty magma (SEX MOVE DU CHAPTOUR, MADEMOISELLES!! “Molten Pile of Dirty Magma” is where you take a “molten pile” on your partner’s chest).

This is the section where we delve into the science of Mother Earth. Ladies, we all have mothers! It’s fun to think of Mother Earth like your own mother!

Our understanding of the earth has changed greatly over the years. Today’s scientists didn’t know anything years ago! Probably because those scientists were babies. Other scientists, who were older, may have known some things about the earth.

Like, here’s a crazy fact for you: people used to think that the earth was flat. Just like my friend LAUREN, HAW HAW HAW!
