GEOLOGY
12 WEEKS OF LOOKING AT ROCKS
That’s what you signed up for, right?
NO!So what are we going to look at?
Geology is not simply the study of rocks.
Geology:A scientific study of the Earth’s processesand materials.
Origin of the Earth
Earth Materials
Atoms and molecules Minerals
Continents
Rocks

Atmospheric Studies
Everything we use comes from the Earth
Particularly in the form of natural resources.Most provided through geologic knowledge.
Construction - cement, concrete and asphaltFuel, light and heat - oil, gas and coal
Water
Prediction and avoidance of hazards,earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, landslides,erosion.
