Chemistry relates to geology through chemical techniques that are used to study and understand the Earth. Thermochemical techniques determine the temperatures of Earth materials, such as inside of the crust, within mountain ranges, and seismic discontinuities. And there are other chemical processes to study the chemical compositions of rocks.

Chemistry has greatly benefited the field of geology, so much so, that geochemistry has become its own field of study. Geochemistry allows geologists to use chemistry to better understand the composition of the world's geological systems, as well as the geological systems of other parts of our solar system.
