Part #11 [ INTRODUCTION OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCE ] DID YOU KNOW ABOUT GEOLOGY... ?

in #steemstem8 years ago
As a student And a science lover I know about geology, in this post I will present about basic knowledge about geology, history of geology, and branch of geology. I hope the steemian and all readers can understand about the good and true geology.

Geology is the study of the earth and the processes that take place in its constituent components, from the time, the mechanism of its formation until the re-establishment of these components.


In more detail, geology is a science that studies the material of the crust of the earth, the processes that last for and or after its formation, as well as living things that have existed or lived on earth.

History of Geology

The Greeks since 2300 years ago have written about fossils, gems, earthquakes, and volcanoes. The most prominent philosopher is Aristotle. He said that rocks are formed by the influence of stars and earthquakes caused by the explosion of dense air on earth due to the heating process by the fire center.

(Frank D. Adams, “Geological Sciences” New York: Devor, 1938) that: "During the Middle Ages Aristotle was respected as head and leader of all philosophers, whose opinion on any subject is law and is the end result.

Some opinions of Aristotle

  • Rocks are formed by the influence of star stars
  • Earthquakes occur due to the explosion of dense air on earth, and this is due to heating by the fire center.
Indeed, at that time the explanation was sufficient, but because he is a respected philosopher, his opinion is more accepted than the opinion based on observation and experiment. So the progress of geology has not been developed quickly at that time.
But after that came some revolutionary doctrine, Catastrophism, which explains that the surface of the earth and all life above it is formed and annihilated in a moment due to a great disaster. Though the formation of mountains, valleys, steep hills and other forms it takes a very long time to form (up to millions of years). This theory developed in the 17th-18th century.

division of geology

  • Petrology
    The study of rocks (igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks), the origin of its formation, its classification, its formation and deposition, and its distribution both within and on the earth's surface.

  • Mineralogy
    The study of minerals, how to describe a mineral-forming rocks
    megaskopis (through its physical properties, such as cleavage, scratches, and gloss)
    and determining the mineral name of the description and mineral usefulness.

  • Sedimentology
    Studies that studied sedimentary rocks, including sedimentary rock formation and sedimentation processes. Study, recognize and interpret sedimentary structures, facies model types, and deposition environments.

  • Geomorphology
    The study of landscapes (natural morphology), studying geomorphological principles in relation to geology and identifying various landscapes, also studied descriptions of landscapes and geomorphological applications
    for research and mapping.

  • Geological structure
    Study of changes in the forms of the earth's crust caused by the presence
    the process of motion on the earth itself resulting in a geological structure of folds, fractures.

  • Paleontology
    The study of all aspects of the past lives of fossils, both macro and micro, found in rocks. Can be used to determine the relative age and settling environment and explain geological changes throughout the earth's history.

  • Stratigraphy
    The study of the sequences of rock bedding, its description, and the processes throughout the history of the formation of the bedding.

  • Applied Geology
    The application of geology to human interests in a particular field, for example: Mining Geology, Coal Geology, Oil and Gas Geology, Hydrogeology, Geophysics, Geothermal.


So, what is geology...?

Geology is the study of the earth as a whole, starting from the processes of earth formation that have been and continue to this day with the study of its composition, structure and history until it formed the earth as we now see.
