Hydrology is about the study of water, and for others, water management. In specifics, it is the study of movement, distributions and quality of the product, water. How this fits in into earth science is that it is very much related to physical geography and climatology. For example river basins and so on. For more information, i suggest you use Wikipedia, that is often a good place to start.
Geology is the branch of science that includes the study of rocks, while paleontology is the branch that focuses on the study of fossils.
Two specialized areas of geology are hydrogeology, which focuses on the study of groundwater flow and contamination, and volcanology, which specializes in the study of volcanoes and volcanic phenomena.
Meteorology is not a field of geology, but rather a branch of atmospheric science that deals with the study of weather patterns and phenomena. Physical geology, on the other hand, is a fundamental field of geology that focuses on the study of the Earth's composition, structure, and processes. Other major fields of geology include mineralogy, petrology, and structural geology.
Environmental geology is the study of how geological processes impact the environment and how human activities in turn affect the Earth's geology. It involves assessing and managing natural hazards, such as landslides and earthquakes, as well as addressing issues like pollution, resource depletion, and climate change. By applying geological knowledge to environmental challenges, environmental geologists work to promote sustainable development and protect the planet.
Hydrology is the study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the hydrologic cycle, water resources and environmental watershed sustainability.Hydrogeology (hydro-meaning water, and -geology meaning the study of the Earth) is the area of geology that deals with the distribution and movement of groundwater in the soil and rocks of the Earth's crust.
