Bedrock geological map of Ireland. Layers of Upper Carboniferous sedimentary rocks, Loop Head, County Clare. The geology of Ireland consists of the study of the rock formations on the island of Ireland. It includes rocks from every age from Proterozoic to Holocene and a large variety of different rock types is represented.
Geological Survey Ireland is a division of the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and is based in Booterstown in Dublin. [4] Its multidisciplinary staff work in sections such as groundwater, bedrock mapping (consisting of bedrock and quaternary/geotechnical), information management, heritage, marine and minerals.

In 1992, Coffin and Eldholm initially defined the term "large igneous province" as representing a variety of mafic igneous provinces with areal extent greater than 100,000 km 2 that represented "massive crustal emplacements of predominantly mafic (magnesium- and iron-rich) extrusive and intrusive rock, and originated via processes other than 'normal' seafloor spreading."

Its bulk had an effect on the geological structure between the Ardennes and the English Midlands by influencing the subsequent crustal folding resulting from the Variscan collision. In Canada, Avalonia comprises the Avalon Peninsula of southeast Newfoundland, southern New Brunswick, part of Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.

Geology determines the relative ages of rocks found at a given location; geochemistry (a branch of geology) determines their absolute ages. By combining various petrological, crystallographic, and paleontological tools, geologists are able to chronicle the geological history of the Earth as a whole.
