Geochemistry

Definition of Geochemistry as it relates to Science, Life Science, Physics

Geochemistry is the study of the chemical composition of Earth and its rocks, minerals, water, and atmosphere, as well as the processes that govern these compositions. It combines aspects of geology, physics, and chemistry to understand how Earth's systems have evolved over time. As such, it fits within the broader category of Physics in the hierarchy Science/Life Science/Physics/Geochemistry by applying physical principles to the study of Earth's chemical makeup and processes.
