Geology and Geoscience

---

Literally, “The study of the Earth,” geology investigates the Earth’s crust, its structure, composition, the processes acting on it, and their impact on the dynamics of the Earth and its minerals. Geoscience, also known as Earth Science, investigates the processes that shape the Earth’s surface, the resources humans utilize, and how water and ecosystems are related. Pollution, food webs, paleontology, ecosystems, plates, and climate change, are all topics covered by geoscience.
