If you are referring to the course "geometry," you would want to ask your school instead of Answers.com. I took pre-calculus after geometry but that doesn't necessarily mean you will either.
Geometry. I think of it as PICTORIAL Mathematics. The word 'geometry' comes from Classical Greece, and means ' Measuring the World'. NB Geo ; the world Metry ; to measure.

The purpose of Euclidean Geometry is to understand plane (2-D) and solid (3-D) geometry with the understanding that things are "flat". Around 300BC Euclid organized the current knowledge of geometry in a series called the "13 elements" . Euclid was a famous Greek mathematician. The Greeks considered geometry to be its pride and joy. They were the first to ask important questions beginning with "How and Why". Their main goals were to spread their knowledge of Geometry and answer the question relating to the purpose of Geometry. The answer, the purpose of Geometry is to understand the purpose or existence of life (mankind) itself. Geometry is not just about shapes and things that have been created by mankind. Geometry is in nature and even exists in the things we cannot see. "Geo" means Earth and "metry" comes from the word meaning measurement. So, rightfully so geometry mean the measurement of earth. I will leave you with a famous pun- Without geometry, life is pointless. ---
Euclidean geometry, non euclidean geometry. Plane geometry. Three dimensional geometry to name but a few
There are different kinds of geometry including elementary geometry, Euclidean geometry, and Elliptic Geometry.
the words geometry comes from the greek word geometria.
Geometry comes from a Greek word meaning 'earth measurement'

YEAH! Algebra 1 comes before geometry.
It depends on your school, but it is usually Algebra 1, Algebra 2, then Geometry.

You can get through many aspects of geometry without pre-algebra or algebra. However, when it comes to the measurement in geometry, you need algebra for that.

It comes from geo (Earth) and metron (measure). So in a technical sense, it means to measure Earth or land.

When you study the theory of geometry, it is pure mathematics. However, when you start using the geometry you have learned in other, more practical areas, then it becomes applied.
Geometry, especially when it comes to triangles and squares.
