10 TYPES OF SCIENCES

Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their
structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy.
Chemistry, a branch of physical science, is the study of the composition, structure, properties
and change of matter.
Physics is the natural that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time,
along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis
of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves
Astronomy is a natural science that is the study of celestial objects (such
as moons, planets, stars, nebulae, and galaxies), the physics, chemistry, and evolution of such
objects, and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth, including supernovae
explosions, gamma ray bursts, and cosmic.
Botany, also called plant science(s) or plant biology, is the science of plant life and a branch
of biology. A botanist is a scientist who specializes in this field of study. The term "botany"
comes from the Ancient Greek word (botane) meaning "pasture", "grass", or
"fodder"; is in turn derived from (boskein), "to feed" or "to graze".
Entomology (from Greek , entomos, "that which is cut in pieces or
engraved/segmented", hence "insect"; and -, -logia[1]) is the scientific study of insects, a
branch of arthropodology, which in turn is a branch of zoology.
Geology (from the Greek , g, i.e. "earth" and -o, -logia, i.e. "study of, discourse") is
the science comprising the study of solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the
processes by which they change.
Microbiology (from Greek , mkros, "small"; , bios, "life"; and -, -logia) is the
study of microscopic organisms, either unicellular (single cell), multicellular (cell colony), or a
cellular (lacking cells).[1] Microbiology encompasses numerous sub-disciplines
including virology, mycology, parasitology, and bacteriology.
Paleontology or palaeontology (/pelntldi/, /pelntldi/ or /plntldi/, /pl
ntldi/) is the scientific study of prehistoric life. It includes the study of fossils to determine
organisms' evolution and interactions with each other and their environments
(their paleoecology).
Pathology is the precise study and diagnosis of disease. The word pathology is from Ancient
Greek , pathos which may be translated into English as either "experience" or "suffering",
and -, -logia, "an account of" or "the study of". Pathologization, to pathologize, refers to
the process of defining a condition or behavior as pathological, e.g. pathological gambling.
Zoology /zoldi/, or animal biology, is the branch of biology that relates to the animal
kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution
of all animals, both living and extinct.
