	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Geography
		Geography is the scientific study of the locational and spatial variation in both physical and human phenomena on Earth.
		Geography is much more than cartography, the study of maps, nor is it the study of 'capes and bays'.
		By the 18th century, geography had become recognized as a discrete discipline and became part of a typical university curriculum in Europe (especially Paris and Berlin), although not the in the United Kingdom where geography was generally taught as a sub-discipline of other subjects.

		Geography is much more than cartography, the study of maps.
		By the 18th century, geography had become recognized as a discrete discipline and became part of a typical university curriculum.
		This branch focuses on Geography as an Earth science, making use of biology to understand global flora and fauna patterns, and mathematics and physics to understand the motion of the earth and relationship with other bodies in the solar system.

	Paleontology - Wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Paleontology is the study of ancient plants and animals based on the fossil record, evidence of their existence preserved in rocks.
		Paleontology overlaps to some extent with geology, the study of rocks and rock formations, and with botany, biology, zoology, and ecology, fields concerned with living creatures and how they interact.
		The primary economic importance of paleontology lies in the use of fossils to determine the age and nature of the rocks that contain them or the layers above or below.

	Paleontology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Paleontology is the study of the developing history of life on earth,of ancient plants and animals based on the fossil record, evidence of their existence preserved in rocks.
		Modern paleontology sets ancient life in its contexts, by studying how long-term physical changes of global geography(" paleogeography ") and climate (" paleoclimate ") have affected the evolution of life, howecosystems have responded to these changes and have changed the planetary environment in turn, and how these mutual responseshave affected today's patterns of biodiversity.
		Paleontology utilizes the same classic binomial nomenclature scheme devised for the biology of living things by the mid 18th century Swedish biologist Carolus Linnaeus and increasingly sets these species in a genealogicalframework, showing their degrees of interrelatedness using the still somewhat controversial technique of " cladistics ".

	Paleontology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paleontology or palaeontology (see Spelling differences) is the study of the history and development of life on Earth, including that of ancient plants and animals, based on the fossil record (evidence of their prehistoric existence as typically preserved in sedimentary rocks).
		Hence, paleontology overlaps with geology (the study of rocks and rock formations) as well as with botany, biology, zoology and ecology – fields concerned with life forms and how they interact.
		Prominent names in invertebrate paleontology include Steven Stanley, Stephen Jay Gould, David Raup and Jack Sepkoski, who have done much to expand our understanding of long-term patterns in the evolution of life on earth.

	Paleontology Summary
		Paleontology is the study of plant and animal life in the geologic past.
		Prior to the birth of paleontology in the early nineteenth century, geologists had no way of determining the relative ages of rocks, but by comparing fossils that represented short-lived life forms, geologists were able to date rock strata more accurately, and put together a chronology of the earth.
		Paleontology (sometimes spelled palaeontology) is the study of the developing history of life on Earth, including ancient plants and animals based on their fossil record (evidence of their prehistoric existence as typically preserved in sedimentary rocks).

	Physical geography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Physical geography (also know as geosystems or physiography) is a subfield of geography that focuses on the systematic study of patterns and processes within the hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere.
		Many areas of physical geography make use of geology, particularly in the study of weathering and erosion.
		Physical geography as a scientific discipline is usually contrasted with and complemented by its sister science human geography.

	MrSci.com: All Science, All the Time
		Geography is the study of the locational and spatial variation of both natural and human phenomena on Earth.
		This was a specific rejection of geography as a merely descriptive discipline and also defined it as inclusive of both the physical world and the human.
		Human geography is a branch of geography that focuses on the study of patterns and processes that shape human interaction with various environments.

	Paleontology - InformationBlast
		Paleontology is the study of the developing history of life on earth, of ancient plants and animals based on the fossil record, evidence of their existence preserved in rocks.
		Paleozoologists may specialize in invertebrate paleontology, which deals with animals without backbones, or in vertebrate paleontology, dealing with fossils of animals with backbones.
		The work done in paleontology can be divided into field work, collections management, fossil preparation and systematic description of new species.
