The science which deals with the earth is known as Geology (geo means 'earth'; logos means 'study or science'). It deals with all the physical and chemical aspects of the earth, along with its structure, origin, age and evolutionary history of its surface. Its study is facilitated by the information obtained from specialised branches of science, such as Physical Geology / Geomorphology / Dynamic Geology, Mineralogy, Petrology, Structural Geology, Stratigraphy, Palaeontology, Economic Geology, Geochemistry and Geophysics.
