is astronomony earth science?

It seems to part of the general category of earth science, even though this seems to be a bit of an oxymoron, since astronomy is about all that stuff that isn't on the earth.

No.  Firstly, no elements are "made" on earth apart from synthetic ones.  All elemental fusion takes place in stars\n\nSecondly, only the elements up to iron are capable of being formed inside a star.  Energetically, it's the wall.  Anything with a higher atomic number than iron can only be formed under the action of a supernova explosion.  Supernovae then seed the interstellar dust with these heavier elements, which eventually coalesce under the effects of gravity to form new stars, and, presumably, planetary systems.  Given the number of new extrasolar planets found recently, this seems to be a relatively common phenomenon.\n\nSo, all the gold on Earth was formed in a supernova explosion, and when the dust particles that condensed out of that explosion gathered together to form the Earth, a small amount of gold was present.  That's where it all came from!\n\nAs Carl Sagan was fond of saying, "We are all star-stuff."

Science is a very generalized area of study.  It includes everything from physics and chemistry to zoology and mathematics.  These more specific scientific areas of study can then be further broken down into specializations like astrophysics or marine biology.

In a very limited sense you could say that it is correct.\n\nScience holds that all of life (not just man) originated materials available on the Earth.  If "clay" is a euphemism for "water + earth materials", then you could say it is true.\n\nSo science doesn't so much have a problem with the "clay" part as with the "was made from" part.

Check out this site: http://www.expanding-earth.org/\nSome scientists may dispute the notion that additional solid matter is created from solar energy by photosynthesis in plants and other living organisms, but they should consider coal beds that were formed from trees in the Carboniferous (~360 to ~290 Ma) but are now buried under deep overburden that accreted later. The huge fossilized tree trunks found in the Petrified National Forest near Holbrook in eastern Arizona are additional evidence of mass from solar energy. Also consider the massive deposits of limestone created by marine fauna (fish, coral, bivalves, microfossils, etc.) in earlier epochs and this growth continues today. Today, piles of leaves, wood chips and fallen trees are rapidly converted to soil by nematodes.  The whole question of added mass needs further research to more accurately determine the volume and sources.

There are two schools of approach for careers in geology or environmental science.  Both entail graduate school!  One is the technical root (which I took), with lots of science, including sub disciplines of geology, along with chemistry, physics, and biology.  The other is the non-technical pathway of business and sociology, which can get you nice jobs, but leaves you short when it comes time to address the sticky scientific issues (I am showing my bias here for the first root, aren't I?).  Good luck!

he basic branches of Earth Science include sciences like oceanography, geology, astronomy and meteorology. The study of the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the Earth has been made easier thanks to the World Wide Web. The sites that computer users can access provide resources on one or more areas of Earth, which includes geology, geophysics, hydrology, astronomy, climatology, meteorology, oceanography, and geomorphology. Some earth science sites focus on such subjects as climate and global change conditions like erosion, pollution, and deforestation. Additional online resources include maps, texts, journals, study guides for students, educational aids for teachers, and data on pertinent events and government agencies. This section features various online resources on the earth sciences.\nThe link below also have some information on earth science.

That was probably written by Aristotle or one of those fellows thousands of years ago.  The idea that minerals were formed by heavenly bodies was an idea that remained current up until about four or five hundred years ago.  This idea has its roots in alchemy and astrology and is why, if you look at astrological "theories", that each planet has an associated element.  Rays, or some sort of mysterious "emanation" from planets and stars were supposed to form deposits of minerals and metals in the earth, and this "theory" was even used to guide prospecting efforts for metals like gold, silver, iron, and whatnot.  Gold was associated with the sun, silver with the moon, iron with Mars, mercury with the planet Mercury, and so on.  \n\nObviously, this idea is a complete fantasy and has no real basis in science.

Actually-\nbecause every living thing is made of atoms (science)\nand every atom is affected gravitationaly by the motion and position of the moon, planets, sun etc. (science)\nthere is more science involved in astrology than you might think.\nExample:\nStart with two people.\nLets say that you (the atomic system that makes you) was concieved or developed in utero when the sun was closest to the earth.\nAnd I was concieved or developed in utero when the Sun was farthest from the earth.\nHear me out.\nYou will be more physically in your element, or operating at optimum performence, so to speak, when the sun is closer than when it is farther away.\nI will be the opposite, I will feel at my optimum best when the sun is farther away.\nThis is basically the same reason that people will feel slightly heavier (not visibly noticable, but still felt) when the sun and moon are somewhat aligned and you are on the side of the earth opposite the sun. This is because the gravitaional forces of the sun and moon combine (attempting to pull you through the earth) with the earths to pull resulting in a gteater force downward towards the earths surface.\n\nOne of the biggest misconceptions is that astrology is not related to science. \n\nI am not an astrologer, nor do I advocate astrology, in fact, most astrologers have not made this connection yet, but I do see the science in planetary location as it relates to atomic systems.\n\nFood for thought.

On Earth, soil is generally considered to be weathered material capable of supporting plant life.[2] Soil forms through a variety of soil formation processes, and includes weathered rock "parent material" combined with dead and living organic matter and air. Soils are vital to all life on Earth because they support the growth of plants, which supply food and oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide and nitrogen.\n\nIntroduction\nBecause of it's position in the landscape and its dynamic physical, chemical, and biologic functions, soil is among our most important natural resources. Indeed, engineers, agronomists, chemists, geologists, geographers, biologists, microbiologists, sylviculturists, sanitarians, archaeologists, and specialists in regional planning, all depend on, and contribute to, knowledge of soils. While the general concept of soil is well established, the definition of soil varies, hinging on the perspective of the discipline or occupation employing it as a resource.\n\nSoil occupies the pedosphere, one of Earth's spheres that the geosciences use to conceptually organise the Earth. This is the conceptual perspective of pedology and edaphology, the two main branches of soil science. Both branches apply a combination of soil physics, soil chemistry, and soil biology. Due to the numerous interactions between the biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere that are hosted within the pedosphere, more integrated, less soil-centric concepts are also valuable. Many concepts essential to understanding soil come from individuals not identifiable strictly as soil scientists. This highlights the interdisciplinary nature of soil concepts.\n\nThe understanding of soil is incomplete. Despite the duration of mankind's dependence on and curiosity about soil, exploring the diversity and dynamic of this opaque resource continues to reward. New and refreshing avenues of soil research are compelled by our need to understand soil in the context of climate change [3], greenhouse gases [4] [5], and carbon sequestration. [6]\n\nVasily V. Dokuchaev, a Russian geographer, is credited with identifying soil as a resource whose distinctness and complexity deserved to be separated conceptually from geology and crop production and treated as a whole.\n\nPreviously, soil had been considered a product of physicochemical transformations of rocks, a dead substrate from which plants derive nutritious mineral elements. Soil and bedrock were in fact equated. Dokuchaev considers the soil as a natural body having its own genesis and its own history of development, a body with complex and multiform processes taking place within it. The soil is considered as different from bedrock. The latter becomes soil under the influence of a series of soil-formation factors (climate, vegetation, country, relief and age). According to him, soil should be called the "daily" or outward horizons of rocks regardless of the type; they are changed naturally by the common effect of water, air and various kinds of living and dead organisms. [7] \n\nWhat is soil?\nSoil classification\nMain article: soil classification \nSoil classification is a contentious subject, from the structure of the classification system itself, to the definitions of classes and types, and finally in the application in the field. Every classification system starts with its own individual definition of soil. The essential problem is that soils do not reproduce or have DNA like living organisms, so no "objective" criteria can be used to choose among classifications. The most qualified specialists in the world can and do spend hours during a field trip at each soil profile, arguing about the classification. Yet, in a well-constructed system, the different names refer to similar concepts, so that interpretations do not vary widely.\n\nThe Unified Soil Classification System (or USCS) is used in engineering, geology and soil science disciplines to describe the texture, grain size,
