Environmental Studies (EVS) teaches us about our surroundings, including nature, animals, plants, air, water, and how we humans, interact with them. EVS also focuses on problems like pollution and how to protect our planet, helping us become responsible and care for the world around us.

The different branches of environmental studies are as follows -

1. Ecology - It is the study of how living things interact with each other and their environment.
2. Environmental Science - A branch involved in the study of nature’s physical, chemical, and biological systems and how they work together.
3. Environmental Chemistry - Environmental Chemistry studies the chemicals in nature and their effects on the environment, including pollution and its impact.
4. Environmental Biology - It is the study of how plants, animals, and humans interact with their surroundings and live together in ecosystems.
5. Atmospheric Science - Atmospheric Science is the study of the air, weather patterns, and climate.
6. Geoscience - It is the study of Earth's structure, rocks, soil, and natural processes like earthquakes and erosion.
7. Social Environmental Studies - This branch looks at how humans affect the environment and ways to live sustainably.
8. Environmental Policy and Management - Study of laws, policies, and practices to protect and manage natural resources.
