BRANCHES OF GEOLOGY
There are many varieties of geology. There are so much to know about our
home planet that most geologist become specialist in one area. These specialties
are known as branches of geology, and have specific titles. As you’ve seen,
different branches of geology study one particular of earth. Since all branches are
connected, specialist work together to answer complicated question.
SOME BRACHES OF GEOLOGY:
Geochemistry – is the study of the chemical processes which form and shape
of the earth. It includes the study of cycles of matter and energy which transport
to earths chemical components and interactions of these cycles with the
hydrosphere and atmosphere.
Oceanography - is the study of composition and motion of water column and
the processes which are responsible for the motion. The principal oceanographic
processes influencing continental shelf water includes waves and tides as well as
wind driven the other oceanic currents.
Sedimentology - is the study of sediment grains in marine and other deposits,
with the focus of physical properties and processes which form deposits.
Deposition is a geological process where geological material is added to landform.
ADDITIONAL BRANCHES;
Benthic ecology – is the study of living things in the seafloor and how they
interact with their environment.
