anyhow physics is related to geology in many different ways - structural geology looks forces applied on (and in) the earth and is able to determine initial conditions under which those structures were formed. plate tectonics is modeled using rotational kinematics. hydro-geology or geomorphology or glacial stuff can all be related to gravity driven processes (water flowing downhill...). saltation and imbrication are both physical processes which have very pretty physics like equations associated with them.

Geology is the scientific study of the Earth, including its composition, structure, physical properties, and history.

Geology is commonly divided into subdisciplines concerned with the chemical makeup of the Earth, including the study of minerals (mineralogy) and rocks (petrology); the structure of the Earth (structural geology) and volcanic phenomena (volcanology); landforms and the processes that produce them (geomorphology and glaciology); geologic history, including the study of fossils (Paleontology), the development of sedimentary strata (stratigraphy), and the evolution of planetary bodies and their satellites (astrogeology); and economic geology and its various branches, such as mining geology and petroleum geology. Some major fields closely allied to geology are geodesy, geophysics, and geochemistry.

And it is not exactly related to physics..

What is the relation of physics to geology?

The relation of physics to geology is that, in geology we study rocks, different structure, different palte activities, different movement of particles etc Now in all of these studies the forces are involves, like compressional forces, gravitational etc. There is also laws of physics are used in geology like newtons laws, law of superposition and so on, so physics is very much involve in geology and we can say that without physics geology is nothing.
