GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Geologists are the scientists who study the origin, occurrence, distribution and utilities of all materials(metallic, non-metallic, inorganic, etc), minerals, rocks, sediments, soils, water, oil and all other inorganic natural resources.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sub-disciplines active in the department include biogeochemistry, organic geochemistry, trace and elemental geochemistry, and metamorphic and igneous-rock geochemistry.

Detailed explanation-3: -Geology describes the rocky parts of the Earth’s crust (or lithosphere) and its historic development. Major subdisciplines are mineralogy and petrology, geomorphology, paleontology, stratigraphy, structural geology, engineering geology, and sedimentology. Physical geography focuses on geography as an Earth science.

Detailed explanation-4: -The realm of geochemistry extends beyond the Earth, encompassing the entire Solar System, and has made important contributions to the understanding of a number of processes including mantle convection, the formation of planets and the origins of granite and basalt. It is an integrated field of chemistry and geology.

Detailed explanation-5: -Geophysics: The study of physical properties like density and magnetism of the earth or its parts.
