    Geology is the study of the solid Earth, including its rocks, structure, minerals, and how natural forces shape them. It is important for civil engineers to have a basic understanding of geology for three key reasons: 1) All civil engineering projects involve earth and its features, so geology studies the very materials that civil engineers work with. 2) Geological factors greatly impact the design, construction, and implementation of major civil works like dams, tunnels, bridges, and roads, which require attention to the geological context. 3) For a civil engineering project to succeed, the engineers must understand the land upon which the project is built. A geological perspective is necessary to properly assess the land.

    SECTION:
    CE 212 (Geology for Civil Engineers)

    Activity 1
    Geology as a Discipline and
    Its Importance to the field of Civil Engineering

    Instruction:
    1. Answer the question in two ways:
    a. First, draw, paint or make picture collage. This can be done digitally or manually. If your
    output is done manually, you either scan or take a good picture of your output.
    b. Write a brief writeup of your answer to the question. Make sure that what you have
    presented visually coincides with your written answer.
    2. This will be submitted to my USTP email: cristina.remotigue@ustp.edu.ph
    3. Size A3 size. Must be submitted in pdf format.

    DEADLINE: September15, 2023

    The Question:

    What is geology and why is it important to Civil Engineers?


    Why is there a need for Civil Engineers to have a basic understanding of the basic principles of geology?
    What is the role of geology in the real world of civil engineering?

    Geology is the study of the solid Earth. It includes the investigation of the rocks forming the
    Earth (petrology) and of how they are distributed (their structure), and their constituents (mineralogy
    and crystallography).
    Geology is the study of earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials and the
    effects of the natural forces acting upon them and is important to civil engineering because all work
    performed by civil engineers involves earth and its features.

    Geological factors plays on important role in design, construction and execution of civil structures. Large
    constructions projects like dams, tunnels, bridges, roads require special attention towards the geological
    settings.
    For a civil engineering project to be successful, the engineers must understand the land upon which the
    project rests.
