Geology...man, nature and the future

Geology is the science of the Earth, especially the study of the nature, composition and history of that thin cover of the Earth that man can reveal. Although its definition has been narrowed to this extent, it is still the broadest in scope of the natural sciences, and is closely related to almost all of them, and many of them have developed from the fields of scientific contemplation. Researching topics of great economic importance.The geologist aims to determine the nature of the Earth''s crust by knowing the rocks and minerals that are part of its composition, and to reveal how and when it was formed. Related to this are the issues of its geometric structure, the arrangement of its rocky masses, and the causes that result in such structures. Successive land contractions have had a major impact on the distribution of seas and continents. The geologist''s task is to explain the complex story of ongoing geographic and climate changes.
