Learnings for today

According to what I learned, geology is the study of rocks, minerals, soils, and underground
include research on water their development, structure, and behavior. Geology has implications
for how we live our lives, including the sources of our water, land, and mineral resources.

Geology is a branch of science that seeks to understand. Earth as a planet Physical geology
investigates the components of Earth and aims to the many processes that take place both within
and on top of it surface.
Understanding the history of the Earth and its processes is a goal of historical geology. Evolution
across time Geology includes physics concepts, Engineering, chemistry, and biology It is a
small, rocky planet self-contained called the "Third Rock from Sun “Known as the "Lonely

all life. Geosphere is the solid Earth or rock (including humans) reaches several kilometers into
the ocean from the bottom. Nonetheless, concentrated near the Earth's surface in the atmosphere
Every connection with the life responds to the Solid Earth's environment: between the
atmosphere and the oceans, rocks additionally to dirt and other inorganic earth components.
Dynamic surface and subsurface characteristics the Plate Tectonics process The Earth's surface
Interior of the Earth The cycle known as the "rock cycle" involves the processes through which
shifts from one sort of rock to another. Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks are the
three primary categories of rocks. Each of these rocks is the result of physical processes that are
a component of the rock cycle, such as melting, cooling, eroding, compacting, or deforming.
Conglomerate Rocks

Rock fragments from other types of existing rocks or biological material are used to create
sedimentary rocks. Clastic, organic (biological), and chemical sedimentary rocks are the three
different kinds of sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is a type of clast sedimentary rock, which is
formed from fragments of other rocks. Hard, biological elements like plants, shells, and bones
that are compacted into rock are what give rise to organic sedimentary rocks like coal. Rocks that
have undergone extreme heat or pressure and altered from their initial state are known as
metamorphic rocks. There are two types of metamorphic rocks: foliated and nonfoliate. Minerals
that are flat or elongated line up in layers to form foliation when a rock is subjected to intense
pressure. Foliation is the perpendicular alignment of elongated or platy minerals, such as
hornblende or mica, under applied pressure. Granite, an igneous rock, serves as an illustration of
this change. When granite is subjected to considerable pressure, lengthy, platy minerals that are
originally out of alignment move to point in the same direction while being compressed into flat
sheets. When molten, heated material cools and solidifies, igneous rocks are created (their name
is derived from the Latin word for fire). A few different processes can be used to create igneous
rocks. They are referred to be intrusive, or plutonic, igneous rocks when they are generated deep
inside the earth. They are referred to be extrusive, or volcanic, igneous rocks if they developed
outside of or on top of the Earth's crust.
