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. See also environmental geology. economic geology engineering geology environmental geology marine geology structural geology; The study of the planet Earth - the materials of which it is made, the processes that act on those 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 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 structure and history of the earth; The scientific study of the Earth, its origins and evolution, the materials that make it up, and the processes that act on it; historical geology; The science which treats: (a) Of the structure and mineral constitution of the globe; structural geology; the study of the history of the Earth by looking at changes in its surface and interior; the study of the Earth's history, structure, and composition; (c) Of the causes and methods by which its structure, features, changes, and conditions have been produced; dynamical geology; 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; assise
geologically: concerning geology
geologically: as part of a geologic process
geologist: {n} one versed in a knowledge of the earth
economic geology: Scientific discipline concerned with the distribution of mineral deposits, the economic considerations involved in their recovery, and assessment of the reserves available. Economic geology deals with metal ores, fossil fuels, and other materials of commercial value, such as salt, gypsum, and building stone. It applies the principles and methods of various other fields, especially geophysics, structural geology, and stratigraphy
economic geology: the branch of geology that deals with economically valuable geological materials
engineering geology: or geological engineering Scientific discipline concerned with the application of geologic knowledge to engineering problems such as reservoir design and location, determination of slope stability for construction purposes, and determination of earthquake, flood, or subsidence danger in areas considered for roads, pipelines, bridges, dams, or other engineering works
environmental geology: Scientific field concerned with applying the findings of geologic research to the problems of land use and civil engineering. It is closely allied with urban geology and deals with the impact of human activities on the physical environment. Other important concerns of environmental geology include reclaiming mined lands; identifying geologically stable sites for constructing buildings, nuclear power plants, and other facilities; and locating sources of building materials, such as sand and gravel
geologically: In a geological manner
geologically: from a geological standpoint, with regard with geology
geologically: with respect to geology; "geologically speaking, this area is extremely interesting
geologist: {i} one who specializes in geology, one who studies the history and development of the Earth's crust
geologist: A person who studies the history of the earth and its life, especially as recorded in rocks
geologist: A person who has completed a program of study in geology and works in that field
geologist: a scientist who studies the origin, physical nature, structure, and history of the Earth
geologist: n a scientist who studies the origin, history, structure, and processes of the earth or another celestial body
geologist: a scientist who studies the origin, history, structure, and processes of the earth

geologist: a specialist in geology
geologist: A scientist skilled in studying earth materials and history
geologist: One who studies the constitution, structure, and history of the earth's crust, conducting research into the formation and dissolution of rock layers, analyzing fossil and mineral content of layers, and endeavoring to fix historical sequence of development by relating characteristics to known geological influences (historical geology)
geologist: A scientist who studies rocks, minerals and fossils
geologist: a person who studies the earth and rock formations
geologist: One versed in the science of geology
geologist: A person who is skilled at geology
geologists: plural of geologist
marine geology: or geologic oceanography Scientific discipline concerned with all geologic aspects of the continental shelves and slopes and the ocean basins. Marine geology originally focused on marine sedimentation and the interpretation of bottom samples. The advent of the concept of seafloor spreading, however, broadened its scope. Many investigations of the oceanic ridge system, the magnetism of rocks on the seafloor, geochemical analyses of deep brine pools, and seafloor spreading and continental drift may be considered within the general realm of marine geology
mining geology: the branch of economic geology that deals with the applications of geology to mining
petroleum geology: the branch of economic geology that deals with the occurrence and exploitation of oil and gas fields
structural geology: Scientific discipline concerned with rock deformation on both small and large scales. Its scope ranges from submicroscopic lattice defects in crystals to fault structures and fold systems of the Earth's crust. Depending on the scale, the general techniques used are the same as those used in petrology, field geology, and geophysics. Furthermore, since the processes that cause rocks to deform can rarely be observed directly, computer models are also used
