This branch focuses on the study of Earth's materials, including minerals and rocks, and the processes that shape the Earth's surface, such as erosion, deposition, and plate tectonics

is the study of minerals, their composition, properties, and occurrences in nature.

investigates the formation and evolution of landforms on Earth's surface, including mountains, valleys, rivers, and coastlines.

is the study of volcanoes, volcanic processes, and related phenomena like lava flows, eruptions, and volcanic hazards.

deals with the origin, composition, distribution, and structure of rocks, including their classification and formation processes.

This branch investigates the deformation of rocks and the structures formed as a result, such as faults, folds, and fractures.

This branch applies geological knowledge to address environmental issues, including land use planning, pollution, and natural hazards.

examines the distribution, movement, and quality of underground water resources, as well as their interactions with geological structures.

involves the study of sediments (particles derived from weathering and erosion) and sedimentary processes, leading to the formation of sedimentary rocks.

focuses on the study of rock layers (strata) and their chronological sequence, helping in understanding Earth's history and past environmental changes.

involves the study of prehistoric life through fossils, providing information about the history of life on Earth.

is the study of earthquakes and seismic waves, which provides insights into Earth's internal structure.

What are the 3 major divisions of peleontology?

These are remains or traces of ancient plants and animals that lived long ago.

THESE ROCKS COME FROM VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. THEY ARE FORMED FROM MAGMA THAT HAS COOLED BENEATH THE EARTHS SURFACE.

IT IS FORMED FROM SEDIMENT LIKE SAND, SEASHELLS AND CLAY. OVER MANY YEARS THESE LAYERS OF SEDIMENT ARE COMPRESSED INTO ROCK.

IS NOT SO EASILY FOUND AS THIS ROCK IS FORMED DEEP UNDERGROUND, WHERE HEAT CHANGES THE ROCKS COMPOSITION MARBLE INTO A METAMORPHIC ROCK.
