Geology

Geology is the study of the Earth’s physical structure and the natural processes that shape it. Geologists study everything from rocks and minerals to fossils and earthquakes. By studying the Earth’s history and how it has changed over time, geologists can help us understand how the Earth works and how we can protect it.

  • Earthquakes and seismic activity are caused by the movement of tectonic plates underneath the Earth's surface, resulting in the release of energy in the form of seismic waves. These waves can be extremely destructive and can result in major damage to buildings and infrastructure.
