Geology is a branch of science offered by many colleges and universities around the world. The Geology jobs are diverse ranging from mineral exploration, mining, petroleum to research and groundwater. You can learn more about Geology from the forums like Geology Buzz.
Geology is the science that studies the composition, structure and evolution of the Earth throughout geological times. The Earth, in its 4.5 billion years of existence, has undergone continuous changes in its shape and composition, such as the generation and continued destruction of mountains, rivers, seas, valleys, etc. That is why its existence and evolution is the object of constant study.
The distance from the Earth's surface to its center is approximately 3,963 miles (6,378 Kilometers). Much of the Earth is liquid, and the solid shell, for the most part, is just 41 miles (66 km) wide.
The geologist searches for mineral and energy resources as well as helping to understand the phenomena that originated and continue to shape the planet. It also studies and helps mitigate the consequences of natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, marine erosion, floods, landslides, etc.
