Biochemistry: the chemistry of life. Geobiology: Distributions of organisms related to geology. Geochemistry can determine types of organisms. Organisms have specific biochemistries. Biochemistry can alter geochemistry.
Biology can be classified into several branches, including genetics, ecology, zoology, botany, microbiology, and physiology. Each branch focuses on a specific aspect of living organisms and their interactions with the environment.
There are many sub-fields within the broad group Earth Science, ranging from Glaciology through to Oceanography. There are the obvious areas concerned with rivers and lakes, with the study of regional and local geology, with the study of the materials themselves, ranging from soil sciences through structure, and various analyses of rock types. And nearby subjects such as Palynology and Paleontology (which covers both land and water creatures or remains), and global subjects such as magnetism, Plate Tectonics, fault systems, and so on.
