Biology vs. Geology — What's the Difference?

Biology is the scientific study of life. It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field.

Geology (from the Ancient Greek γῆ, gē ("earth") and -λoγία, -logia, ("study of", "discourse")) is a branch of Earth science concerned with the solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change over time. Geology can also include the study of the solid features of any terrestrial planet or natural satellite such as Mars or the Moon.

The study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behaviour, origin, and distribution.

The science which deals with the physical structure and substance of the earth, their history, and the processes which act on them.

The science of life and of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution and encompassing numerous fields such as botany, zoology, mycology, and microbiology.

The scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the earth.

The life processes or characteristic phenomena of a group or category of living organisms

The structure of a specific region of the earth's crust.

The living organisms present in a specific area or region.

A book on geology.

The study of all life or living matter.

The scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the solid matter of a celestial body.

The living organisms of a particular region.

The science that studies the structure of the earth (or other planets), together with its origin and development, especially by examination of its rocks.

The structure, function, and behavior of an organism or type of organism.

The geological structure of a region.

The science of life; that branch of knowledge which treats of living matter as distinct from matter which is not living; the study of living tissue. It has to do with the origin, structure, development, function, and distribution of animals and plants.

The science which treats: (a) Of the structure and mineral constitution of the globe; structural geology. (b) Of its history as regards rocks, minerals, rivers, valleys, mountains, climates, life, etc.; historical geology. (c) Of the causes and methods by which its structure, features, changes, and conditions have been produced; dynamical geology. See Chart of The Geological Series.
