Detailed explanation-3: -petrology, scientific study of rocks that deals with their composition, texture, and structure; their occurrence and distribution; and their origin in relation to physicochemical conditions and geologic processes. It is concerned with all three major types of rocks-igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.

Detailed explanation-4: -Historical geology or palaeogeology is a discipline that uses the principles and methods of geology to reconstruct the geological history of Earth. Historical geology examines the vastness of geologic time, measured in billions of years, and investigates changes in the Earth, gradual and sudden, over this deep time.

Detailed explanation-5: -The history of geology dates back to the 4th century in ancient Greece. Gradually over the centuries, various advances were made including the study of fossils to date the earth, and the study of mineral and mineral ores in the 17th and 18th centuries, respectively.
