    Geology is the study of the solid Earth, the rocks it is composed of, and how they change over time. It examines the structure of the Earth both on and beneath its surface, and determines the relative and absolute age of rocks. Geology provides key evidence for plate tectonics, the evolution of life, and past climates. It uses various methods like field work, experiments, and modeling to understand the Earth's structure and history. Geology has practical applications in resource exploration, hazard assessments, and environmental issues.

    Geology (from the Ancient Greek γῆ, gē ("earth") and -λoγία, -logia, ("study of", "discourse")[1][2]) is

    an earth science concerned with the solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the
    processes by which they change over time. Geology can also include the study of the solid features
    of any terrestrial planet or natural satellite such as Mars or the Moon. Modern geology significantly
    overlaps all other earth sciences, including hydrology and the atmospheric sciences, and so is
    treated as one major aspect of integrated earth system science and planetary science.

    Geology describes the structure of the Earth on and beneath its surface, and the processes that
    have shaped that structure. It also provides tools to determine the relative and absolute ages of
    rocks found in a given location, and also to describe the histories of those rocks.[3] By combining
    these tools, geologists are able to chronicle the geological history of the Earth as a whole, and also
    to demonstrate the age of the Earth. Geology provides the primary evidence for plate tectonics,
    the evolutionary history of life, and the Earth's past climates.
    Geologists use a wide variety of methods to understand the Earth's structure and evolution,
    including field work, rock description, geophysical techniques, chemical analysis, physical
    experiments, and numerical modelling. In practical terms, geology is important
    for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation, evaluating water resources, understanding
    of natural hazards, the remediation of environmental problems, and providing insights into
    past climate change. Geology is a major academic discipline, and it plays an important role
    in geotechnical engineering.
