The Theory of Tectonic Plates

Usually the less dense molten rock would cover the denser solid (cool) rock, and after many times, the cool denser rock will be pu ...

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
