This job in Earth science studies living organisms and life processes
What is Biology
Known as the “Father of Geology.” He discovered that Earth is much older than people once thought and that rocks and landforms change slowly over millions of years.
Who is James Hutton

In 1896, this person aided in the discovery of radioactivity (which was found by investigating properties of X-rays) and introduced techniques for isolating isotopes.
The main idea of this Earth Science job is to learn how living things depend on each other and their surroundings, so we can protect nature and make sure the planet stays healthy for the future.
What is Ecology
This person studied chimpanzees and discovered many things about their behavior, made important contributions to zoology.
