Geology makes use of chemistry, physics, mathematics and biology...holistic?

Question

would you consider Geology the most adaptable science because it uses: chemistry, physics, math and biology

if your not sure what you want to do is geology a good well rounded science to study?

Answer 1

Geology is interdisciplinary because it uses both chemistry and physics, (not holistic) but I don't think you could regard it as the most adaptable science. The amount of chemistry and physics required is minimal and the biology is next to none. So you would certainly not be prepared as a geologist to work in other sciences than geology.

Chemistry is generally regarded as the "central" science. To be a well prepared biologist you need at least 7 semesters, to be a physician or any position in the health sciences you need 6 or 7 semesters, and you need at least a year to be geologist, physicist, or even astronomer.

THe best idea is to do some chemistry and then do whatever other science you want to specialize in.
