Is geology a real science? Or just an amalgamation of other sciences?

I mean:
>Physics: is a natural SCIENCE that involves the study of matter
>Chemistry: is the SCIENCE of atomic matter, especially its chemical reactions
>Geology: is the science comprising the study of solid Earth
>Volcanology: is the study of volcanoes, lava, magma, and related geological, geophysical and geochemical phenomena.

Why is geology considered a science and not volcanology?

The suffix 'ology' means that it is a science.
Geo - earth
Ology - science

math is the only real science

Fuck off H. Geology isn't a science. It's just chemistry applied to rocks pretending it's a science.

That is the wrong tripcode, and although that is one of EK's reaction images, I do not see why it would fit with your post.

Well yes.
There are exceptions.
Scientology is a religion, not a science.
And astrology is a pseudoscience.

It is a separate science; it is taught separately.
Is biology not just applied chemistry?
