This dimension links an earth science concept to the discipline that studies it. Wikipedia describes geology as "a branch of natural science concerned with the Earth and other astronomical bodies, the rocks of which they are composed, and the processes by which they change over time," and a concept like plate tectonics belongs squarely inside it. Browsing by discipline groups ideas that a single field of earth science actually claims.
