in #science7 years ago (edited)

Season's greetings steemians, i am wishing every one happy new year in Asia and others happy new year in advance.
I want to enlighten my community about geology and i believe the following paragraphs will be of great knowledge adding to your wealth of knowledge.
Geology is the study of processes and products of our planet earth. I know you are wondering, 'what processes' , yes there are processes happening beneath and on the surface of the earth and these processes are driven by factors or better known as determinants.
Beneath the earth crust we can find processes like decay of remnant warmth that was trapped beneath the earth crust, there is also the case of decay of radio active isotopes and frictional warmth that was due to the influence of movement of rock masses next to one another and these afore mentioned processes give rise to products like metamorphism, igneous activity and mountain building among many others.
At the surface of the earth the main player here is the Sun, yes the Sun because it is the one that drives biogeochemical cycle, therefore the products here are denudation and deposition.
Geology uses the present to give answers to the past....it is an interesting world over here at the camp of #geology #science # askquestions #learn # life #nature #naturalresources #nigeria #university #education #profession #knowledge #newbie #introduceyours
