      Hi Cara,

      Great question. I would say that geology is probably a good balance somewhere between geography and chemistry. I would say yes it probably is a little closer to geography but you do have a combination of both in geology. I struggled with chemistry at school but when it was put into something I love (Earth Science) I found it much easier to understand!

    Hi Clara, geology is made up of a broad range of subject areas such as paleontolgy, minerology, volcanology, sedimentology, geo-chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, engineering etc and involves an understanding of earth processes. There are cross-over areas with both physical geography and chemistry depending what you choose to study.
