Geology provides evidence for plate tectonics, the evolutionary history of life, and the Earth's past climates. Geologists broadly study the properties and processes of Earth and other terrestrial planets.
Geology is the study of the nonliving things that the Earth is made of. [1] [2] Geology is the study of rocks in the Earth's crust. People who study geology are called geologists. [3] Some geologists study minerals (mineralogist) and the useful substances the rocks contain such as ores and fossil fuels. Geologists also study the history of the ...
In geology, rock (or stone) is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter. It is categorized by the minerals included, its chemical composition, and the way in which it is formed.
Geology, the fields of study concerned with the solid Earth. Included are sciences such as mineralogy, geodesy, and stratigraphy. Geology also explores geologic history, which provides a conceptual framework and overview of Earth’s evolution.
In its broadest sense, geology is the study of Earth—its interior and its exterior surface, the minerals, rocks and other materials that are around us, the processes that have resulted in the formation of those materials, the water that flows over the surface and through the ground, the changes that have taken place over the vastness of ...
Geology is the study of the Earth, the materials of which it is made, the structure of those materials, and the processes acting upon them. It includes the study of organisms that have inhabited our planet.

Rocks are made of collections of mineral fruits that are held together in a firm, solid mass. They are made of minerals (which are crystalline), or other mineral-like substances. The Earth's outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rock. That means the Earth's crust is made of rock.
The field of geology includes the composition, structure, properties, and history of the planet's physical material. It includes the processes by which it is formed, moved, and changed; the history of life on Earth; and interactions between the biosphere and the geosphere.
Geology is the study of the earth's constitution, history, and structure as disclosed by the sequence of rock formations and the evidence of their deformation and alteration.
