It encompasses mineralogy and stratigraphy, and includes disciplines such as geophysics and geochemistry. This volume focuses on Earth s composition, including mineralogy and crystallography; igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic petrology; economic geology; and geochemistry. It investigates Earth s structure, which concerns geophysics, structural geology, tectonics, volcanology, and geodesy. Earth s surface features and processes are also explored. Historical geology, stratigraphy, paleontology, astrogeology, and geology s practical applications such as in earthquake prediction and control complete this informative resource.
