Geology is the branch of Earth science that studies the solid Earth, its constituent rocks, and the processes that drive their transformation. In addition to exploring the Earth, geology extends to the solid features of other planets and natural satellites. The field employs a range of techniques, including geophysical methods, numerical modeling, rock description, and chemical analysis. Geology has a wide range of practical applications, such as understanding past climate change, assessing water resources, addressing environmental challenges, and conducting mineral and hydrocarbon exploration. Geology also plays a crucial role in the dating of rocks and fossils, using two primary approaches: relative dating and absolute dating. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It provides comprehensive insights into the field of geology. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
