Geochemistry is the science that uses the tools and principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms behind major geological systems. The chemical analysis of minerals gives information about their origin and transformation.
Hydrology is a subject which deals with the movement, distribution and management of water on Earth and other planets, including the hydrological cycle, resources and environmental watershed sustainability.
Physical Geology is concerned with the physical aspects of geology, including rocks & minerals, plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciation and much more.
Engineering Geology is the application of Geology to engineering constructions to study the suitability, stability, and potential risks based on rocks and Geological structures of the location.
Environmental Geology is an applied science concerned with the practical application of the principles of geology in the solving of environmental problems such as earthquakes, floods and landslides.
Planetary geology is a scientific discipline concerned with the geology of the celestial bodies such as the planets and their moons, asteroids, comets, and meteorites.
