... At present-day, the axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5°, referred to as Earth’s “obliquity”, or “tilt”. The Sun moves back and forth through the year between 23.5°N and 23.5°S. Earth’s 23.5° tilt also defines the 66.5° latitude of the Artic and Antarctic circles. No sunlight reaches latitudes ...

As the magma loses heat, it cools and crystallizes into an igneous rock. Magma can cool on the Earth's surface, where it has erupted from a volcano (e ...

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.
