Geology is the scientific study of the Earth, its composition, structure, processes, and history. It encompasses the analysis of rocks, minerals, and landforms, as well as the study of Earth’s physical and chemical processes, such as plate tectonics, volcanism, and erosion. Geology also involves understanding the history of the Earth, including the formation and evolution of its layers, the development of its landscapes, and the processes that have shaped the planet over geological time scales. This field helps scientists predict natural disasters, locate natural resources, and understand environmental changes.
