Geology: an overall topic for amateurs and specialists

Geology is a branch of earth sciences that studies the structure of solid earth, the rocks that make it up, and the processes that occur on it over time. Geology can also refer to the study of the solid Earth features of any planet (such as Mars or the Moon). Geology describes the subterranean structure and the processes that make up that structure. Geology provides the tools needed to determine the relative and absolute ages of rocks at a given location, as well as to describe the history of those rocks. By combining these tools, geologists can chronicle the geological history of each land and determine its age. Geology provides the basic evidence for plate tectonics, Earth’s evolutionary history, and Earth’s past climates. Geologists use a wide variety of methods to understand Earth’s structure and evolution, including fieldwork, description of rocks, geophysical techniques, chemical analysis, physical experiments, and numerical modeling. In practical terms, geology is important for exploring and exploiting minerals and hydrocarbons, assessing water resources, understanding natural hazards, addressing environmental problems, and providing insights into climate change. <a href="https://medium.com/@MetwallyHamza/geology-an-overall-topic-for-amateurs-and-specialists-664e4e23030e">Read More</a>
