Earth`s vertical electric field
... On the earth’s surface, the electric field can be as strong as 100 to 300 V/m. This means that if you are out in the open, and away from buildings or other things that would affect the field, there can be a few hundred volts between your head and your toes! ...

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.
