Environment Science Environmental Science is a study of how different components of the environment transmit through physical and biological components. Environmental science covers various methods of studies in the fields of Ecology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology and Geography through the education of environmental systems. (Carson, 2002). Science and technology affects the issues in our society, for example, the experiment of human cloning has brought controversy and society became skeptic
