Answer

Our very lives are shaped by it. We take summer breaks when it's sunniest, we live through hot and cold, dry and wet, and every combination of weather. We are a prey to it - storms, droughts, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes - all the earth's processes. While there is very little we can do to prevent what the earth does, there is much we can do to predict and prepare. Without earth scientists, we would have no idea of how disasters work, or when they will happen - we might even not know about global warming. So, it affects our life.
