What is Environmental Science?
Environmental science is the field of science that studies the interactions of the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment and also the relationships and effects of these components with the organisms in the environment. The field of environmental science can be divided into three main goals; they are to learn how the natural world works, to understand how we as humans interact with the environment and also determine how we affect the environment and finding ways to deal with the effects on the environment.
Environmental science is also referred to as an interdisciplinary field because it incorporates information and ideas from multiple disciplines. Within, the natural sciences, such as fields of biology, chemistry and geology are included in environmental science. Most people think of environmental science as an aspect of natural science, but the reality is that environmental science is a complex study that consists of broad areas from social science and humanities.
