Question by Tasswon: What's the difference between geology and earth sciences?
I'm applying to university and what to do geology. I researched the programs offered at these universities to become a geologist, and the choices are either earth sciences or geology. My question is what's the difference between geology and earth sciences?

Answer by Mark V
They're pretty close, and depending on the two programs, they can be nearly identical.
However, a geology degree will focus on earth and direct "rock type" earth processes.
Earth science will probably include more eduction into other processes, like oceanography and atmospheric science.
But like I said, it all depends on the university. My degree says geology, but I got massive doses of just about every earth science field that you could imagine.
