GEOLOGY
…Seeing
the world around you in a completely new light!
Geology
is the
study of the Earth, its processes, its materials, its history, and the effect
it has on humans and life in general. In this broad study of geology,
we shall study in in-depth: Rocks, crystals, mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes,
rivers, glaciers, landslides, floods, and many other subjects. It is a science
that is still young enough to have exciting, unanswered questions, but mature
enough to make use of all the sophistication and rigor that one can bring to
bear!
Geology
is unique because it is a highly field-oriented science. Geologists
perform a wide range of significant services for our civilization:
·
They search for valuable deposits of
natural resources such as iron, coal, and oil.
·
They determine the stability of building
sites.
·
They find abundant supplies of clean
water.
·
They also try to minimize the threat to
communities at risk from geologic hazards.
The work of a geologist
is usually outdoors, sometimes in deserts or sparsely populated mountain
ranges. It is imperative to note that some of the most geologically
interesting places in the world are also the most scenic. Students of
geology can expect to find themselves working in locations that they have often
wanted to travel to, as well as many that they had not known of but were
grateful to have visited still.
Geology is a fundamental
visual science. Many geological problems are much like
solving a puzzle. Therefore, you will be required to present a possible
explanation of the events that occurred to produce the scenery surrounding
them. If you have ever wondered how a certain hill came into existence in
a certain place, or why a cliff or canyon should have such a vivid display of
color to it, or why a large outcrop of rock is exposed in a particular fashion,
a background in geology can help you to return to those features and figure out
the answers. Once you have had an introduction to geology, you will
see the world around you in a completely new light.
Geologic phenomena
affect our daily lives as well as the future of our planet. Fundamental
knowledge in the Earth and planetary sciences has direct bearing on matters of
urgent interest to the public, to policy makers, and to other scientists. The
threats of a major earthquake in California, a volcanic eruption in the
northwestern U.S., or an asteroid impact are ever present. The sudden reality
of global warming is global fundamental issue that can be properly attended to
with geological
knowledge. A naturally fluctuating climate is being modified by human
activities in ways that we do not understand with consequences that we cannot envisage.
