Geology

Geology is the study of the Earth system, the materials of which the Earth is made, the origin and evolution of those materials, the processes acting upon them (both external and interior), and the origin and evolution of its organisms and ecosystems. Geology investigates the relationship of how all components of the Earth interact within the Earth System. Lessons learned about the Earth system through geology are also applied to explore the origin and evolution of other bodies in the Solar System. Central to geology is the study of how rocky bodies like the Earth have changed over time.
