Wikipedia article:  Geology

 

Geology

 

Geology (100)

 

·         Geology (from the Greek γῆ, gк, "earth" and λόγος, logos, "study") is the science comprising the study of solid Earth and the processes by which it evolves.

 

·         Geology provides primary evidence for plate tectonics, the history of life and evolution, and past climates.

 

·         In modern times, geology is commercially important for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and for evaluating water resources; is publicly important for the prediction and understanding of natural hazards, the remediation of environmental problems, and for providing insights into past climate change; plays an essential role in geotechnical engineering; and is a major academic discipline.

·         Geology provides primary evidence for plate tectonics, the history of life and evolution, and past climates.

 

·         In modern times, geology is commercially important for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and for evaluating water resources; is publicly important for the prediction and understanding of natural hazards, the remediation of environmental problems, and for providing insights into past climate change; plays an essential role in geotechnical engineering; and is a major academic discipline.

 

·         Some modern scholars, such as Fielding H. Garrison, are of the opinion that modern geology began in the medieval Islamic world.

 

·         Abu al-Rayhan al-Biruni (973–1048 AD) was one of the earliest Muslim geologists, whose works included the earliest writings on the geology of India, hypothesizing that the Indian subcontinent was once a sea.

 

·         The most significant advances in 20th century geology have been the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s, and the refinement of estimates of the planet's age.

 

·         Relative dating Methods for relative dating were developed when geology first emerged as a formal science.

 

·         In geology, when an igneous intrusion cuts across a formation of sedimentary rock, it can be determined that the igneous intrusion is younger than the sedimentary rock.

 

·         The geology of an area evolves through time as rock units are deposited and inserted and deformational processes change their shapes and locations.

 

·         Engineering geology is the application of the geologic principles to engineering practice for the purpose of assuring that the geologic factors affecting the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering works are properly addressed.

 

earth (100)

 

·         Geology (from the Greek γῆ, gк, "earth" and λόγος, logos, "study") is the science comprising the study of solid Earth and the processes by which it evolves.

 

·         This theory states that slow geological processes have occurred throughout the Earth's history and are still occurring today.

 

·         The majority of geological data come from research on solid Earth materials.

 

rock (64)

 

·         William Smith (1769–1839) drew some of the first geological maps and began the process of ordering rock strata (layers) by examining the fossils contained in them.

 

·         In geology, when an igneous intrusion cuts across a formation of sedimentary rock, it can be determined that the igneous intrusion is younger than the sedimentary rock.

 

·         For many geologic applications, isotope ratios are measured in minerals that give the amount of time that has passed since a rock passed through its particular closure temperature, the point at which different radiometric isotopes stop diffusing into and out of the crystal lattice.

 

·         The geology of an area evolves through time as rock units are deposited and inserted and deformational processes change their shapes and locations.

 

·         Igneous intrusions such as batholiths, laccoliths, dikes, and sills, push upwards into the overlying rock, and crystallize as they intrude.

 

·         These fossils help scientists to date the core and to understand the depositional environment in which the rock units formed.

 

plate tectonics (41)

 

·         Geology provides primary evidence for plate tectonics, the history of life and evolution, and past climates.

 

·         The most significant advances in 20th century geology have been the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s, and the refinement of estimates of the planet's age.

 

materials (35)

 

·         The majority of geological data come from research on solid Earth materials.

 

minerals (28)

 

·         For many geologic applications, isotope ratios are measured in minerals that give the amount of time that has passed since a rock passed through its particular closure temperature, the point at which different radiometric isotopes stop diffusing into and out of the crystal lattice.

 

modern (25)

 

·         In modern times, geology is commercially important for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and for evaluating water resources; is publicly important for the prediction and understanding of natural hazards, the remediation of environmental problems, and for providing insights into past climate change; plays an essential role in geotechnical engineering; and is a major academic discipline.

 

·         Some modern scholars, such as Fielding H. Garrison, are of the opinion that modern geology began in the medieval Islamic world.

 

life (23)

 

·         Geology provides primary evidence for plate tectonics, the history of life and evolution, and past climates.

 

·         Geologists and geophysicists study natural hazards in order to enact safe building codes and warning systems that are used to prevent loss of property and life.

 

history (23)

 

·         Geology provides primary evidence for plate tectonics, the history of life and evolution, and past climates.

 

·         This theory states that slow geological processes have occurred throughout the Earth's history and are still occurring today.

 

rock units (18)

 

·         The geology of an area evolves through time as rock units are deposited and inserted and deformational processes change their shapes and locations.

 

·         These fossils help scientists to date the core and to understand the depositional environment in which the rock units formed.
