The science that studies the structure of the earth (or other planets), together with its origin and development, especially by examination of its rocks
Geological means relating to geology. a lengthy geological survey. + geologically geo·logi·cal·ly At least 10,000 of these hectares are geologically unsuitable for housing
The science that deals with the study of the planet Earth--the materials of which it is made, the processes that act to change these materials from one form to another, and the history recorded by these materials; the forces acting to deform the outer layers of the Earth and create ocean basins and continents; the processes that modify the Earth's surface; the application of geologic knowledge to the search for useful materials and the understanding of the relationship of geologic processes to people
The study of the planet earth including the materials of which it is made, the processes that act on these materials, the products formed, and the history of life since the origin of the earth
The science which treats of the origin, history and structure of the Earth, as recorded in rocks; together with the forces and processes now operating to modify rocks
The study of the planet Earth -- the materials of which it is made, the processes that act on these materials, the products formed, and the history of the planet and its life forms since its origin Geology considers the physical forces that act on the Earth, the chemistry of its constituent materials, and the biology of its past inhabitants as revealed by fossils
the study of science dealing with the origin, history, materials and structure of the earth, together with the forces and process operating to produce change within and on the earth
Geology is the study of the Earth's structure, surface, and origins. He was visiting professor of geology at the University of Jordan. + geologist geologists ge·olo·gist Geologists have studied the way that heat flows from the earth
The geology of an area is the structure of its land, together with the types of rocks and minerals that exist within it. an expert on the geology of southeast Asia. the study of the rocks, soil etc that make up the Earth, and of the way they have changed since the Earth was formed (geologia, from ge ( GEO-) + -logia ( -LOGY%)). Scientific study of the Earth, including its composition, structure, physical properties, and history. Geology is commonly divided into subdisciplines concerned with the chemical makeup of the Earth, including the study of minerals (mineralogy) and rocks (petrology); the structure of the Earth (structural geology) and volcanic phenomena (volcanology); landforms and the processes that produce them (geomorphology and glaciology); geologic history, including the study of fossils (paleontology), the development of sedimentary strata (stratigraphy), and the evolution of planetary bodies and their satellites (astrogeology); and economic geology and its various branches, such as mining geology and petroleum geology. Some major fields closely allied to geology are geodesy, geophysics, and geochemistry.

The study of the planet earth -- the materials it is made of, the processes that act on those materials, the products formed, and the history of the planet and its life forms since its origin
The study of the Earth, its origins, structure, composition and history (including the development of life), and the nature of processes which have given rise to its present state
