Geology is the scientific study of the Earth, its structure, substances, history, and the processes that shape it over time. It encompasses the examination of rocks, minerals, and soils, as well as the dynamics of tectonic plates, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. Geologists seek to understand the Earth’s past environments and the formation of its landscapes, as well as the processes that lead to changes in the Earth’s surface.
