 Geography
Answer
 Physics is related strongly with mathematics
 Knowledge of lenses in physics are used in making microscopes which are used in the
study of cells in biology
 Physics has helped in explaining forces within atoms and therefore atomic structure
 Carbon dating is an application of radioactivity which serves as a crucial tool to history in
establishing fossil age and hence past pattern of life
