Why Study Earth Science?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. Dramatic geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or floods impact many areas of the world. Less dramatic but ongoing processes such as rivers, wind, soil erosion and glacial movement sculpt the landscape and change how humans use the Earth’s surface. Geology
