As a geology student, you will learn about a range of topics such as the origins and development of landscapes, earthquakes, volcanoes, sustainability, glaciers, water composition and processes, floods, groundwater flow, the interaction between humans and the planet, and dinosaur evolution.

Geology is not only the study of rocks, but also the study of how they change. Geology often gives clues about the history of the Earth. It does this by providing geologists with clues about the various climates on Earth, plate tectonics, and the history of life on Earth.

• There are 18 volcanoes in the US with the potential to erupt again, all of them in Alaska, Hawaii and the West Coast states.
• Rubies and sapphires are actually the same mineral – corundum.
• Rubies, sapphires and emeralds are all more rare than diamonds.
• Not all diamonds are transparent.

Government as well as private sector job opportunities exist in front of Indian geology graduates. Pursuing PG course will be highly beneficial, since it will enhance one’s qualification and help land better jobs! Also, completing Masters Education will help one take up the job post of a lecturer (at College).

Structural geology also requires math, ranging from rather easy for three dimensional stress-strain and deformation modeling to rather more difficult stereonet analysis. You mentioned petroleum geology. The math requirements for that are even more extensive.

Geochemistry is broadly concerned with the application of chemistry to virtually all aspects of geology. Inasmuch as the Earth is composed of the chemical elements, all geologic materials and most geologic processes can be regarded from a chemical point of view.

In its broadest sense, geology is the study of Earth—its interior and its exterior surface, the rocks and other materials that are around us, the processes that have resulted in the formation of those materials, the water that flows over the surface and lies underground, the changes that have taken place over the …
