    Geology is the study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. A geologist is a scientist who studies the solid and liquid matter that constitutes the Earth and terrestrial planets using physics, chemistry, biology, and other sciences. The Earth's history is recorded in the layers of the Earth. The most significant geological advancement was the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s, which describes the large-scale motions of Earth's lithosphere.
