Fundamentals of Historical Geology
Historical geology is, however, more than just a recitation of past events. It studies a dynamic planet that has changed continuously during the past 4.6 billion years. In addition to determining what occurred in the past, geologists are also concerned with explaining...
Solar System
The Solar System consists of the Sun and the various objects that orbit around it, all bound together by the force of gravity. It formed about 4.6 billion years ago when a dense region of molecular clouds collapsed to form the Sun and a protoplanetary disk. The Sun is...
Mountain Building
Mountain building refers to the geological process that forms mountain ranges. It is caused by plate movements such as continental collisions, volcanism, and the folding and warping of the Earth's crust. Over millions of years, these forces shape landforms and rise to...
Denudation
Definition: Denudation is the long-term sum of processes that cause the wearing away of the earth’s surface, reducing the elevation and relief of landforms and landscapes. Process of Denudation: Weathering : Weathering represents the preliminary phase of...
Weathering Processes
Weathering is a fundamental geological process in which rocks on Earth's surface are broken down by physical, chemical, and biological processes into silt, clay, soil, and water-soluble materials. Understanding climate is essential to understanding how our planet's...
Geology: Definition, Importance, career and the role of a Geologist.
Geology is a fundamental scientific discipline that provides important insights into Earth's history, structure, and processes. This is important because we use many of these elements daily. We need to understand how geological processes (such as plate tectonics,...
Earth’s Structure Unit
Three primary structural units of the earth CRUST MANTLE CORE These structures are divided based on seismic waves (P and S wave velocities) 1. Major Characteristics of Crust The crust is the Outermost and thinnest layer It is relatively cool and consists of hard rocks...
Exploring the San Andreas Fault: A Geological Wonder
The San Andreas Fault is one of the most well-known geological features in the world, running approximately 800 miles through the state of California, USA. This fault line has captured the fascination of scientists, geologists, and the public alike due to its...
Metamorphic Texture
Metamorphic Textures Small-scale features that occur in virtually all of the rock body at the microscopic scale The term ‘Fabric’ is also used synonymously. As the rock-forming processes differ among types of metamorphism, the resulting texture is also different....
