Introduction What is Meteorology? Meteorology is branch of geology that deals with the scientific study of atmosphere (gaseous envelop surrounding earth) held around the earth due to gravity and the weather process, there are various major gases that make up atmosphere. The most common gas is nitrogen that make up 78% of atmosphere, oxygen is 21%, and 1 % as argon, carbon-dioxide and few trace gases. There are many more gases found in small quantities including water vapor which is in very small quantity which is important for the weather. It is a sub-discipline of Atmospheric Science that majorly focuses on weather processes and forecasting. Meteorology includes both climate and weather and is concerned with the physical, chemical and dynamical state of the Earth’s atmosphere and its interactions between the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. The major responsibility of the meteorologist is to monitor and analyse its changes to make predictions and interpretations about weather condition...

Introduction What is mean by Geology?  Geology is the study of or science of the earth (Geo- earth and logy- study/science). It includes physical and chemical characteristics of earth with its structure, age and origin. Earth is part of solar system with sun as its head star. It is necessary to know about earth before studying universe. The earth mainly made up of rocks and minerals hence it mainly include the study of the rocks and its formation, composition, structure, origin etc. The earth physical features like mountains, lakes, valleys keep changing due to earth activity. How the earth was formed, what it consist of, when was the earth formed, all these questions will get through studying geology. Oldest rock found on earth was 4.5 billion years. The earth mainly have core, mantle and crust. Scope of Geology Geology has gained importance from last few decades. Geology studies help to identify minerals, rocks, structures, deposits and resources which have been for the benefits...
