The Rock Cycle
... If you guessed a volcanic eruption, you were right. One day we just exploded onto the crust. It was amazing. Chip and I were no longer magma. We had become lava that was flowing onto continental crust. When we finally cooled off enough we stopped flowing, and we saw things we had never seen before. ...

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.
