Physical science is an encompassing term for the branches of
natural science, and
science, that study non-living systems, in contrast to the
biological sciences. However, the term "physical" creates an unintended, somewhat arbitrary distinction, since many branches of physical science also study biological phenomena. Basic physical science topics include:
Astronomy - the study of the universe beyond the atmosphere of the Earth
Chemistry - the science dealing with the composition of substances, their interactions with energy and each otherMany of the
earth sciences, including:
Geology - the study of the planetary structure of Earth and the physical processes which shape it (the broader subject of
planetary science studies the structure of planets other than Earth)
Hydrology - the study of the movement and distribution of water across the Earth's surface
Meteorology - the study of Earth's weather patterns and other atmospheric phenomena (the broader subject of
atmospheric sciences studies the structure of atmospheres in general rather than specifically Earth's)
Oceanography - the study of the ocean as a physical system
Soil science - the study of the
pedospherePhysics - the quantitative science dealing with matter and energy
