Geology is the scientific study of the Earth, its structure, composition, processes, and history. It involves the examination of solid Earth materials such as rocks, minerals, and soil, as well as the dynamics of the Earth’s interior and surface. Geologists seek to understand how the Earth has evolved over time, including the formation of landscapes, the occurrence of natural resources, and the processes that shape the planet, such as plate tectonics, erosion, and sedimentation. The field is essential for understanding natural hazards, environmental change, and the Earth’s resources, and it intersects with various disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and environmental science.
