What Part of Science Studies Tornadoes, Earthquakes, etc.?

Question

Basically natural phenomenon such as the ones listed along with volcanoes and tidal waves. Thanks.

Answer 1

As disasters are different, they would be under different fields of study.  Some examples:  Tornadoes and hurricanes would be studied under climatology, meteorology or atmospheric sciences.  Earthquakes are seismology.  Volcanoes are vulcanology.  Both of those can be studied under geology or geophysics.  Tidal waves (or more appropriately called tsunami) are the result of earthquakes underwater, but the actual mechanics of the waves can be studied under oceanography, fluid dynamics or fluid physics, but are likely to be studied in seismology as well.

All of these can be covered by a much broader term, earth sciences.

Answer 2

Tornadoes = Meteorologists

Earthquakes = Seismologists

Volcanoes - Volcanologists

Tidal Waves = Oceanologist

Actually not sciende geology(geography)

Answer 3

Earth/Physical Science and/or Meteorology

Answer 4

Meteorology, or atmospheric sciences (-physics, -chemistry).

Answer 5

Tornadoes = Meteorologists

Earthquakes = Seismologists

Volcanoes - Volcanologists

Tidal Waves = Oceanologist

Answer 6

Tornadoes = Meteorology

Earthquakes = Seismology

Volcanoes - Volcanology

Tsunamis = Oceanography

Collectively these all fall within GEOSCIENCE.

Answer 7

All of the phenomena you listed are usually covered in an earth science curriculum.   However, earth science is actually a combination of separate disciplines: geology, meteorology, oceanography and astronomy.

Tornadoes = meteorology

Earthquakes & Volcanoes = geology

Tidal Waves = geology and oceanography
