The study of marine geology concentrates on regions impacted by our oceans, such as the deep ocean floor, the shallower slopes and shelves that encircle the continents, and coastal regions like beaches and estuaries. The study of soil as a natural resource on the Earth’s surface, including its creation, classification, and mapping, as well as its physical, chemical, biological, and fertility features and how these properties relate to how soils are used and managed, is known as soil science. Glaciology is the study of ice in the natural world, of which winter snow, sea ice, glaciers, ice sheets, and frozen land are crucial elements. Geoarchaeology uses techniques from the Earth sciences to respond to archaeological inquiries. The geological component of natural and cultural heritage is known as geoheritage. A specific geoheritage asset is a geosite.
