Geology: The Study of the Earth

If wind and water blows away or rinses the top layer of fertile soil, erosion will occur. Because fertile lands lose fertility due to soil erosion it is difficult to cultivate crops on eroded land. In addition to the impact on crops, erosion may weaken the land and collapse the building. Planting windbreak forests can prevent soil erosion. Windbreakers are plants that plant shrubs, hold the soil firmly and prevent it from being washed away. Other methods include a terrace where the plains are cut on the hillside and the crop grows on these plains.

Historical geology is a study of geophysical history, one of the two major areas of geology, the other is physical geology, or the physical elements of the earth and them It is a study of the force to form. The main area of ​​historical geology is the stratigraphy, ie the study of rock formations called strata, or the study of singular formations. Other important areas include geology chronology, earth age studies, age dating of specific strata in the geological age, sedimentology, sedimentology research, interpretation including sedimentation process and formation, paleontology, fossil plant research, animal research And so on. I am studying ecology, the relationship between prehistoric flora and fauna and its environment. Check out some of these topics in other articles in this book.

Geology is literally "Earth science" (Tarbuck and Lutgens). Geology may include research on the origin of the earth (historical geology) or an understanding of the nature, composition and process of the earth (physical geology). We may not immediately recognize it, but geology has many uses in contemporary lifestyles. In this article we will focus on the industry, describe the physical geology and how this geological branch is applied to the current event.

Geology is a major earth science. That word means "to study the earth". Geology includes the material composition of the earth, the structure of the earth, and the processes of the earth. It also focuses on how the Earth's creatures and the Earth change over time. Geologists look for fuels and minerals, study natural disasters, and work to protect the environment of the earth. Map the lava flow: Volcanologist Vollanologist Charlie Bacon of the US Geological Survey divides the prehistoric lava flow boundary of Alaska Mount Vennia Minnov into a map. This map shows areas covered by past lava eruptions and can be used to estimate the potential impact of future volcanic eruptions. Alaska scientists are often spraying guns (foreground) and pepper to prevent grizzly bears. Rucksacks are full of food and life support tools, and there are helicopters called bidirectional radios.
