1. Fields of Study (Part 3)

2. Economics
Fields of
Study
Economics is the social science that seeks to describe the factors which determine
the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services.

3. Geography
Fields of
Study
Geography is a field of science dedicated to the study of the lands, the features, the
inhabitants, and the phenomena of Earth.

4. Hydrogeology
Fields of
Study
Hydrogeology is the area of geology that deals with the distribution and movement of
groundwater in the soil and rocks of the Earth's crust (commonly in aquifers).

5. Iconography
Fields of
Study
Iconography refers to the content of images, the typical depiction in images of a
subject, and related senses in media studies.

6. Lexicology
Fields of
Study
Lexicology is the part of linguistics which studies words.

7. Mechanics
Fields of
Study
Mechanics is an area of science concerned with the behavior of physical bodies when
subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on
their environment.

8. Metallurgy
Fields of
Study
Metallurgy is a domain of materials science and engineering that studies the physical
and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their intermetallic compounds, and their
mixtures, which are called alloys.

9. Mineralogy
Fields of
Study
Mineralogy is a subject of geology specializing in the scientific study of chemistry,
crystal structure, and physical (including optical) properties of minerals.

10. Mythology
Fields of
Study
Mythology can refer to the collected myths of a group of people—their body of stories which they tell
to explain nature, history, and customs—or to the study of such myths. Various origins for myths have
been proposed, ranging from personification of nature, personification of natural phenomena to
truthful or hyperbolic accounts of historical events, to explanations of existing rituals.

11. Physics
Fields of
Study
Physics is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through
space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force.

12. Optics
Fields of
Study
Optics is the branch of physics which involves the behaviour and properties of
light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments
that use or detect it.

13. Acoustics
Fields of
Study
Acoustics is the interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of all mechanical
waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as vibration, sound,
ultrasound and infrasound.

14. Chemistry
Fields of
Study
Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies the composition, structure,
properties and change of matter.

15. Cryogenics
Fields of
Study
Cryogenics is the study of the production and behaviour of materials at very low
temperatures.

16. Pneumatics
Fields of
Study
Pneumatics is a branch of physics applied to technology that makes use of gas or
pressurized air. Pneumatic systems used extensively in industry are commonly
powered by compressed air or compressed inert gases.

17. Thermodynamics
Fields of
Study
Thermodynamics is a branch of physics concerned with heat and temperature and
their relation to energy and work. It defines macroscopic variables, such as internal
energy, entropy, and pressure, that partly describe a body of matter or radiation.

18. Somnology
Fields of
Study
Somnology (or hypnology) is the scientific study of sleep. It includes clinical study
and treatment of sleep disorders and irregularities.

19. Philosophy
Fields of
Study
Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those
connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind and language.

20. Statistics
Fields of
Study
Statistics is the study of the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and
organization of data.

21. Horticulture
Fields of
Study
Horticulture is the branch of agriculture that deals with the art, science, technology,
and business of plant cultivation.

22. Architecture
Fields of
Study
Architecture refers to the art and science of designing buildings and non-building
structures. It is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and
constructing buildings and other physical structures.

23. Photography
Fields of
Study
Photography is the science, art and practice of creating durable images by recording
light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image
sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.

24. Cartography
Fields of
Study
Cartography is the study and practice of making maps. Combining science, aesthetics,
and technique, cartography builds on the premise that reality can be modeled in ways
that communicate spatial information effectively.

25. Kinesiology
Fields of
Study
Kinesiology, also known as human kinetics, is the scientific study of human
movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological, mechanical, and psychological
mechanisms.

helping out my son with his school assignments and project
work. I am happy to share this with other students and their
parents. Hope you find this informative and useful. Thank you.
