Geology is the study of the Earth, including what it is made of, how it changes over time, and the ways in which it affects our lives. Geologists look at rocks, minerals, and fossils to learn about the Earth's history and structure. Geology helps us find important resources like water, minerals, and energy, making it an important science for our everyday lives. Understanding geology gives us a better idea of how the Earth works and how we can take care of it.
