What is the scientific name for the study of rocks and Earth’s history?

Biology
Chemistry
Geology
Physics

The correct answer is: Geology

Geology is the correct answer because it is the scientific study of the Earth, including its materials, structures, processes, and history. Biology, chemistry, and physics are all important sciences, but they focus on different aspects of the world and do not include the scope of geology. Biology is the study of living things, chemistry is the study of matter and its properties, and physics is the study of matter and energy and how they interact. Therefore, option A, B, and D are incorrect.
