Geology is the scientific study of the Earth, its structure, composition, processes, and the history recorded in its rocks and minerals. It encompasses the examination of Earth’s materials, such as rocks and soil, as well as the processes that have shaped the planet over geological time, including plate tectonics, erosion, sedimentation, and volcanism. Geologists also study the Earth’s past environments and the life that existed at different times, contributing to our understanding of natural resources, natural hazards, and the impacts of human activity on the planet. The field integrates various disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology, and environmental science to gain insight into the Earth’s systems and the dynamic processes that alter the landscape.
