What did this course teach you about Earth?
Luckily I included in my studies the course of Geology.
In this paper I will talk about what I learned about the earth, with a brief explanation of howthis process was started and how it continues. By understanding the growing process of the Earth structural growth, we can get a good look at the geological proof it has to offer.
In the manyfaceted view of the Earth's history in geology, the growth of the planet can explain many structural changes involved.
In beginning, the environment of the Earth has changed dramatically over time.During the first 2-l/2 billion years of our planet's history, our world was a hostile,
barren land without oxygen. Basically, a ball of fire (earth).
Geology is, broadly speaking, the study of theEarth. It is split into several disciplines, including: Petrology (the study of rocks), Geophysics (the study of the Earth using physics), Paleontology (the study of fossils) and Mineralogy (the study ofminerals). The main aim of geology is to understand how the Earth works; how mountains are built, how the oceans form, what dinosaurs looked like. The Earth is constantly changing, both inside andoutside. The atmosphere and water erode and weather rocks; collision of continents build mountain ranges; and new crust forms at the mid-ocean ridges. How do these processes relate to each other, and canwe come up with a model to explain these things? Once we have such a model, the applications of geology become much simpler. Applications include the search for oil, gas, water and minerals;environmental studies; reconstructing the past environments of the Earth, which helps us with predicting the future.
Geology taught me that the earth is made of three main layers: the lithosphere, the mantleand the core. This are split further, but this is beyond the scope of this tutorial. The lithosphere is divided into a series of plates which move around the surface of the Earth as dictated by...
