Although natural selection is affected by geology, and some knowledge of geology is certainly necessary to be able to interpret the evidence for the various phylogenies of evolution, these theories themselves do not affect geology. Evolution therefore remains a matter of Biology, not geology.

Theory that processes that can be seen today also occurred in the past?
Geology = Uniformitarianism. Biology = Gradualism.
How is geology related to biology?
Our surrounding have lots of effect on us as the the climatic codition may differ our physiology and appearance in same way different places may varies our habitat condition so all our activity depen upon on the geographical area where we or other living beings are living
What biological sciences support Darwin's theory of evolution?
The better question would be; what biological sciences DO NOT support Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Evolution is the backbone of biology and the theory that explains much about evolution is the bedrock on which all biology is built, regardless of the apparent absence in some disciplines of biology. It is no longer just Darwin's theory as many disciplines not formed then, and some extant then, have added to and refined the theory. Genetics Molecular cell biology. Evolutionary developmental biology. Biochemistry. Geology. Paleontology. Population generics. Botany. Evolutionary biology. And the list can go on. Google, disciplines in biology, wiki.
What does Hydrocarbons are not biology reworked by geology as the traditional view would hold but rather geology reworked by biology mean?
Hydrocarbons (petroleum, bitumen, oil, gas) can result from several processes. One of these is biogenic gas in which bacteria eat oil seeps or other hydrocarbons and produce mostly methane gas. Another example would be the Athabasca oil sands of Alberta in which bacteria ate most of the oil that migrated through this area millions of years ago and the residue is tar, rather like asphalt on a road. These would be biology reworking geology. The primary mode of hydrocarbon generation is burial of organic-rich petroleum source rocks. Increases in temperature and pressure through time can "cook" oil and gas from these mostly shale and carbonate rocks. This is geology reworking biology. An example of an organic rich source rock that wasn't buried deep enough to generate petroleum is the oil shales of western Colorado and eastern Utah. I'm a petroleum research scientist with about 30 years experience.
What are 10 branches of life science?
I guess you could say the main "branches" of Science are: Physics Chemistry Astronomy Geology Oceanography Paleontology Meteorology Biology Zoology Medicine c:)
What is the status of Darwins hypothesis today?
scientific advances in many fields of Biology, along with geology and physics, have confirmed and expanded most of Darwin's hypotheses
What is the status of Darwins hypotheses today?

Which is the hardest biology and geology?
biology is easier
What is the difference between zoology biology ecology geology?
Zoology work with biology and geology work with ecological nature.
What is the study of earth plants animals and climates?
Biology
Which idea about geologic change became the accepted theory in Darwin's theory?
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection does not incorporate theories about geological change. Those are the domain of geology, not biology.
What boundary does paleontology lie on?
biology and geology
Why are tectonic plates important?
Plate Tectonics is the "World Theory" of geology, as it explains most of the important geologic processes, which were enigmatic before. Some say, it has the same importance for geology as has Darwins' evolution theory for biology. However, in science, especially if it is a descriptive science which tries to explore nature, it is a good idea to be careful and keep in mind the difference between facts and theories. Still, plate tectonics is the most important theory in geology and after half a century of scientific research in this field a very good supported one.
What two idea from geology were important to Darwins thinking?
There are couple if important thinking from the geology. The main ideals are uniform-ism was highly influential and gradualism is also built into Darwinian evolutionary theory.
Contrast pure science and applied science?
Pure science is intangible and theoretical like biology, anatomy, and geology. Applied science is applying the theories and making them into something tangible like satellites and laboratory equipment.
Which theory ties the fields of biology and geology together?
Paleontology
What field do biology incorporates ideas from?
Chemistry, Physics, and Geology
