The three basic subdivisions of science are Biology, chemistry, and physics. There are many, many different branches off of these. To go into detail would probably take a book's worth of words. Here is something of an example of a "division" of science.

Physics

- Earth Science

-- Geophysics

--- Oceanography

---- Marine Plate Tectonics

----- Marine Volcanology

It can get pretty exhaustive trying to narrow down a type of science to a specific field, or conversely trying to categorize a certain type of science.

Why science has been divided into different discipline?

Because science as a single topic became too big and complicated for people to try to study all at once - and so they began to specialise in their individual 'areas-of-interest'. This tended to split along logical lines - chemistry separated from physics, biology separated from chemistry, and so on.
