Meteorology is the study of the Earth's atmosphere and the variations in temperature and moisture patterns that
produce different weather conditions. Some of the major subjects of study are such phenomena as precipitation (rain
and snow), thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes and typhoons.

oceanology
Study of the ocean realm in all its aspects.
Oceanography is the study of the deep sea and shallow coastal oceans: biology, chemistry, geology and physics
together make oceanography a richly interdisciplinary science Oceanography is the study of Earth's oceans - their
composition, movement, organisms and processe Oceanography is the study of everything in the ocean
environment, which covers about 70% of the Earths surface. Recent technology has allowed people and probes to
venture to the deepest parts of the ocean, but much of the ocean remains unexplored. Marine geologists learn about
therocks and geologic processes of the ocean basins.

Physical geography (also known as geosystems or physiography) is one of the two major sub-fields
of geography.[1][2][3]Physical geography is that branch of natural science which deals with the study of processes and
patterns in the natural environment like the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and geosphere, as opposed to the
cultural or built environment, the domain of human geography.
