Geology is the scientific study of the Earth, its structure, composition, processes, and history. It encompasses the examination of rocks, minerals, and the physical and chemical processes that shape the Earth over time. Geologists investigate the formation and distribution of Earth’s materials, including the study of landslides, earthquakes, volcanic activities, and the cycle of erosion and sedimentation.
