Rocks/minerals

Geology is the study of the planet, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which it evolves. Geology gives insight into the history of the Earth, as it provides the primary evidence for plate tectonics, the evolutionary history of life, and past climates. Students will be exploring the history and future of geology. We start with a basic knowledge of rocks and minerals, working our way up to the rock cycle. Mining and careers in geology are explored and discussed to gain an understanding of where and how many of our natural resources are acquired.
