Global society is based on geology. Our energy resources, construction and manufacturing materials, food and agricultural products, and building sites all depend on the geologic environment.
brings long-term perspectives to these issues, as we study how processes such as continental drift and climate change influence the earth and our lives. The earth sciences are distinct from other natural sciences. The study of the earth is interdisciplinary and historical, bringing knowledge from many other fields to help answer questions. Geoscientists investigate continents, oceans and the atmosphere, and emphasize both the processes that change the earth through time and the results of those
