Getting to Know: Why Earthquakes Occur
... Earthquakes can cause smaller areas of ground to crack. However, these cracks do not go through the entire thickness of Earth’s crust and they are different from the large cracks in Earth’s crust, called faults, which are the focus of earthquakes. If the crack formed by an earthquake broke through t ...

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.
