Geology is the scientific study of the Earth's solid materials, including rocks, minerals, and the processes that shape and transform them over time. It is a multidisciplinary field that combines elements of physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics to understand the Earth's history, structure, and the dynamic processes that have shaped and continue to shape the planet. Geologists investigate various aspects of the Earth, including its composition, structure, and the processes that have influenced its formation and evolution. They study rocks and minerals to understand their properties, origins, and how they are formed through processes like crystallization, erosion, and deposition. Geologists also analyze the Earth's landforms, such as mountains, valleys, rivers, and coastlines, to understand the processes that have shaped them, such as plate tectonics, weathering, and erosion. The field of geology encompasses several sub-disciplines, including: 1. Petrology: Petrology ...
