Introduction to geology

INTRODUCTION TO GEOLOGY

Geology, or Earth Science or the Geosciences, is the study of the Earth, which includes its interior and exterior processes, rocks, minerals, fossils, and all the surface processes that have shaped the landscape around us and continue to shape our lives today. These processes take place over different time scales, from hundreds of millions of years to hundreds of thousands of years, a difficult concept to grasp as humans have only been present for a short amount of time in the wide breadth of Earth’s history. Geology is a multidisciplinary field that integrates a variety of other sciences including but not limited to: physics, chemistry, biology, math, astronomy, statistics, and more! Geologists use evidence from Earth and other planetary bodies to explore the natural world and use the information they gain to better understand the past, present, and future.

EARTH LAYERS

The internal structure of Earth, structure of the solid Earth, or simply structure of Earth refers to concentric spherical layers subdividing the Solid earth, i.e., excluding Earth’s atmosphere and hydrosphere. It consists of an outer silicate solid crust, a highly viscous asthenosphere and solid mantle, a liquid outer core whose flow generates the Earth’s magnetic field, and a solid inner core.

• Scientific understanding of the internal structure of Earth is based on observations of topography and bathymetry, observations of rock in outcrop, samples brought to the surface from greater depths by volcanoes or volcanic activity, analysis of the seismic waves that pass through Earth, measurements of the gravitational and magnetic fields of Earth, and experiments with crystalline solids at pressures and temperatures characteristic of Earth’s deep interior.
