Geology is the superior hard science because it incorporates all others. It is the beautiful combination of math, physics, chemistry, and biology that is far more than the sum of its parts and plays a role in so many parts of daily life that people may not connect to geology.
Biology is far more intertwined with geology than that. Paleontology is extremely important in determining the relative age of rock units and features through marker fossils, which are time limited but geographically ubiquitous. Charles Darwin was a geologist first, and his journey on the HMS Beagle allowed him to find various fossils that eventually led him to developing the theory of evolution by natural selection.
There is so much more connection between the two sciences than you might think.

Biology? Maybe compressed carbon from plants but it doesn’t feel right.

You can’t talk about erosion without talking about vegetation at some point
I like this, didn’t consider that!
